Okay let me preface this by saying that this post is due to a direct interaction between myself and Iljain.
So, the topic in question was McDonalds' chicken nuggets.
Note how I put the apostrophe behind the S because that is what is up for debate. He thinks I am referring to the name of the fast food chain. I am not. We all know it's called McDonald's.
What I tried to explain to him was that the subject was the chicken nuggets. And since we cannot type "McDonald's's" it changes to McDonalds'.
But, ya know, what do I know? He studied English for a full year and I have been speaking it my entire life.
I have since gotten many native English speakers to concur on my logic to try and convince him but he remains stubborn in that I was wrong.
I'm not seeking anyone's approval on this- I am commenting on his insistence.
Have a lovely day everyone and thanks for reading this dead thread.
