The extraneous waffle-word
In another place we're discussing the apostrophe in an office memo that read, ""One topic that was addressed concerned Employee Coffee's."

The apostrophe isn't the only with "One topic that was addressed concerned ..."
Shouldn't it have been "One topic that was addressed was ..."?

Probably, Shu. There was more discussion, too, about the inappropriate capitalization. After seeing that I read the rest of the e-mail today, and it was worse. Later he mentioned "Employee Coffee's" in some places and Employee Coffee's in other places.

I hope one of my e-mails isn't being analyzed somewhere on the Web, as his has been!

Just out of interest, did he get it right anywhere (employees' coffees, I would assume).
