This is not the NSFW image of Phoebe Cates in the 1980's that I was expecting it to be

You may be thinking of the apostrophe in '80s

It looks weird to have a number followed by a letter with no space or punctuation. I am a grammar nazi but this I will allow. Team 80's

Not an abbreviation, but a placeholder. The apostrophe is a placeholder for the "19" in 1980s. Or...

Little ol' me

The apostrophe is a placeholder for the letter "d"

Rock 'n' roll

The apostrophes are placeholders for the letters "a" and "d"

Fuckoffassholes t1_je3eoct wrote

I understand the by-the-book purpose of the apostrophe; it's just my personal thing that I do, knowing it's wrong but it looks more "right" to me, in a strictly visual sense, because you don't ever see a number touching a letter anywhere else.

If I wasn't using numerals I'd obviously write "eighties" and not "eighty's."

No, "1980's photo" would be an odd way to refer to a photo from 1980 specifically, because that's a possessive apostrophe.

EternamD t1_je2nwgp wrote

Exactly. "1979 had a good photo but 1980's was better" something like that

Second one is correct, although the first would also be correct if the "the" was removed

punkassjim t1_je43wl4 wrote

It would be grammatically correct, but factually incorrect. The real poofy hair was closer to the late ‘80s. 1980 proper featured mostly 1970s styles. Disco and Charlie’s Angels were still a thing, so the fashionable hair was more flowy than poofy.

AppreciableAppendage t1_je443pw wrote

Well, yeah, I was focusing more on the punctuation than the fashion haha. When was it feathery?

Fuckoffassholes t1_je3fru1 wrote

I know the true intended purpose of apostrophes; my comment is unrelated to that. I'm saying I personally have an OCD beef with seeing a numeral touch a letter so I deliberately misuse the apostrophe in a non-possessive way.

If somebody typed "I like turtle's," I'd grind my teeth, but there's no numeral there, so the 80's is a special exception. I know this is wrong and I'm not allowed to make up the rules, but at the same time, can too.

Never said "punctuation nazi."

AppreciableAppendage t1_je6y2ut wrote

So, you also erroneously fancy yourself a Semantics Specialist. Not only are you attempting to speak in the context of punctuation, but, if you were the Grammar Nazi you claim to be, you would know that one of the many aspects of grammar is punctuation. Many grammatical rules cannot be followed without punctuation; therefore, it does form part of grammar.

Probably the combo of leopard print and snarling raptor on the bikini. At least I think that's a raptor. Maybe it's a leopard.

All i can say with great certainty is that it is most assuredly snarling.

Kind of pissed you made me google Kevin Kline to find out he was 75. Then I realized he married Phoebe at 41 when she was 26 or so, and I was like, you go, dude.

Jeff Spicoli introduced checkerboard slip-on Vans (and baja shirts, too, for that matter) to my generation. There was a guy I had a HUGE crush on in 1983-85 who dressed just like him, but I didn't even realize it until I saw the movie a few years later.

You browse bikini pics in the office? You look at bikini pics when you're around kids? You look at bikini pics when you're with your mom or dad? At a family gathering? In church? You realise there's a setting to filter nsfw content for people who want to hide such content. And please spare me the "well maybe you shouldn't be on reddit", nah, maybe you shouldn't be annoyed from a stupid tag that has no bearing on your life.

It’s a fair question for someone who doesn’t understand to ask. No, I don’t look at pictures of people in bikinis at work, and yes, I agree with the tag, but it is a fair question, particularly given the state of the internet today. Like, “There isn’t even a butthole in this picture. Why all the fuss.”

We could all do better to understand this, but until you have a job where it matters to know better, I believe this could be confusing, and I also think we could all be polite about it.
