  1. After many years of cleaning up vintage bicycles and motorcycles,
    we've found these tools are the least expensive, fastest and easiest
    way to clean up an old bicycle or motorcycle.

    Full restorations are rarely worth the cost. Use your labor and this
    kit to improve the grading of your vintage motorcycle, bicycle or
    scooter.

    Ya'll could honor Sheldon even more by spelling "its" correctly in
    your tribute.

    An apostrophe is a signal to the reader that an "s" is coming.

    Why can't it just say "Oh god" like the rest of us?

    Looks like it can also be a signal that two "ll" s are coming.

    Then landotter soulda written, "by spe'lling 'its.'" But, actually, two
    "ll"s would be "llll."

    Oh, good grief.

    "The cycling community has lost it's greatest resource."

    <i>It's</i> is the contraction for <i>it is.</i> To check, say it as
    "...lost <i>it is</i> greatest resource." Because this usage refers to
    the resource of the community, it is possessive. Lose the apostrophe.
    Please.

    I don't think you're wrong about that, it'd seem.

    It is?

    Hey, could I re-write the above sentence as "It's ?".

    Oy.
    Ok it is fixed.
    We were kind of caught up in the moment when we published it.
