Hi all,hope everyone is good.This may seem a daft question but how do you put a comma over the top of a letter.For instance cv,s i am trying to put the , at the top of the v.I have tried different thing on the keyboard,can anyone help a thick brummy out. ;D.Dean.

It's the key underneath the @.
To clarify, it's the same key as the @, but without the shift key pressed.

Thank you Ron,very kind.I did not know that key did that thought it was just@. :y.Dean.

This has also solved the same little mystery for me. Cheers. :y

It does also depend on what you are using, whether it be a laptop, PC Keyboard or Tablet. On my PC Keyboard the ' symbol is under the " to the left of 'Enter', on my laptop it is under the @ as Ron said and on my IPad it's on the numerical page (123 Key), along with most of the other punctuation marks.
Hope you're sorted now. :y

.. and you don't need an apostrophe in the example to make a plural of a noun, although one could argue the correct form as "CV" is an abbreviation of a latin expression.
"CVs" would be the correct form without getting into latin. ::)

Last time, punctuation was mentioned we had a flounce.

No worries, and I didn't mean to be pedantic. :y
I think I did Latin for a year at school, and it was a bigger waste of time than doing the football that would otherwise have been in my timetable.. and they used to call me "the statue" when I played football. ::)
-
HA-HA "CV"s i know where that key is. ;D ;D.

This.
Plural nouns NEVER take an apostrophe. If you're unsure about apostrophes, leave them out. You're much more likely to be correct than if you scatter them everywhere.

I know mate no offense taken,never did Latin at school so i would not know a noun from a plural ;D.I was called something similar playing rugby ;D ;D ;D.

So just to mess my head up. ;D What is correct CV's or "CVs".I love this button now ' i am going to use it more ;D ;D.
-
CVs is correct. :y
-
CV's = CV belonging to him. Apostrophe indicates missing letters of CV his
CVs = more than one CV
-
CV's = CV belonging to him. Apostrophe indicates missing letters of CV his
CVs = more than one CV
First one is just wrong. Both explanations.
Second one is right

The only time I could see where you might use an apostrophe is if you were saying something like “This CV’s missing a page”. But, rather than write that, which looks odd, I would either use “CV is” or rejig the sentence to “a page is missing from this CV”.

You should use capitals on both, or none, of the words.

So Nick,i put Curriculum Vitae.Or curriculum vitae is that right.Dean.
-
Special case regarding "it's" versus "its" - you only ever use an apostrophe for "it's" when it means "it is"; anything else, no apostrohe.

Exactly, it's is always a contraction of it is, or it has. If you write it in full that becomes clear: the cat sat in it is basket is obviously wrong.

Yes. They're both correct, so it's a style judgement. Pick the one that looks best to you, and always write it that way.
-
Just to be pedantic (again), the plural of curriculum vitae is curriculA vitae; the qualifier does not change.
Yes, I did Latin at school because it was then a requirement for university entry.
Ron.

Amo, amas, amat, amamus, amamis, amant...
And one of my school mates self proclaimed title, "Ego sum Dominus". ;D
I never did Latin at Secondary school, opting for German instead. He went with Latin...
Guess who has a German wife, and lives just outside Frankfurt... ::) The irony isn't lost on either of us ;D

And where does a grocer's apostrophe fit? ..... ::)

That's true when it's used as Latin. But modern thinking is that when you're using foreign terms as English, then English rules apply. So we have stadiums, singular data, blonde men, etc etc.
-

Anywhere you care to stick it, as long as it isn't written anywhere ::)
-
I must be a dinosaur then, Nick, because I always use the correct terms, i.e. stadia, datum, blond to use your examples.
Maybe my Latin lessons weren't wasted?
Ron.

We will need a bloody degree to post on here soon. ::)

Nah, we are only showing off!
Not everything academic is worthwhile.
And I can't type!

Yeah, had noticed Ron lad. ;D
