hey, can anybody help me. I have recorded video on Z7U in 24p mode, and as I am downloading video to my PC, there is time code all the time, I read manual, I try to turn it off in the menu display settings, and in video mode on camera as data copde, but nothing is working. What should I du?
BUT NOT IN A WORD LIKE TYPOS!!!!!!
Ah, forget it, should have kept my big mouth shut. I don't care if people make mistakes and typos, everybody does, it just set me off when you started correcting other people when your own grasp of the written language is so tenuous.

I had two different versions either apples on sale or Apples' on sale The one with the apostrophe is not used as often
The one you gave made it appear that the Company Apple was for sale.
You said Apple's on sale.

Not in my book. No contractions for you? It is a fact that in SF movies, aliens and robots do not use contractions. That's how you know they're not humans. [Edit #2: May also apply to grasshoppers ]
One use that hasn't been mentioned yet in this thread is how I use it in my sig file - unless it also counts as a contraction:
Keep-On-Learnin'
So, matovalenta, as you can see, forums.adobe.com is a good place for information about Adobe (and sometimes about camera) products, but I wouldn't recommend it for grammar lessons. Here's hoping you're either as entertained as I am or that you've figured out how to stop the email notifications 🙂

Mark, I'm sorry (oooh loookie there, a contraction! ), I should have been more specific! With the "s" on the end of the word, the apostrophe implies possessive tense and not plural. Example: apples (plural) ... .... apple's (possessive tense ... something belongs to the apple).
Yes, certainly the apostrophe applies to contractions!

And I went through the looking glass when trying to illustrate, to Phillip, an *incorrect* use. Bad mistake

That's understandable. Apparently grasshoppers are humans, too .

Yes the apostrophe has lots of funtions, one of which is contractions.
Look on this page for 'Double Contractions'
Can you think of a 'Triple Contraction?'

Note: 'help please' has turned into an educational thread and grammar refresher course, all in one.

I would've, but 'twouldn't've been pretty.

That's putting an otherwise useless subject to good use!

Grammar is the most abused subject on earth.
Let's have a moment of silence for grammar.
Spending a moment here to review a few things about grammar is hardly enough, but it at least gets some things rehearsed. I see fragmented sentences which are incomplete sentences in another post. Should I go over there and read them the riot act?
Everyone should know that a complete sentence needs a subject and a predicate (a noun and a verb.)

Er, well, I meant the useless "help please" subject, of course. It is proving more useful than usual in this thread for some reason.

I'm not the one to ask. I am quite the grammar abuser myself. Unfortunately, I seem to be regressing lately rather than recovering .

Case.
I caught that too. Now it has me wondering if this is a case of grammar grammar?

That would be Great-great Grammar!
( @ Ramón – I know it's "case" but that wouldn't have been as close, thus invalidating my subsequent remark.)
I rest my case.

In that case, no rebuttal is necessary, as your case was weak enough to fall on its face.

Okay, you guys are right! My "case" was weak, let's all leave it in the past "tense", shall we?
I *do* know how to use the apostrophe even if my quick reactions to explain it are inaccurate!
gads!

Keep breathing heavily Phillip, no matter what anyone else says.
"You said Apple's on sale."
That would be the function of the conjunction apostrophe 's' which means Apple is on sale.
