LOL i think your right.. I dontknow why i put little in there. :P

I think the Bounty, "the qwicker picker upper" commercial was registering subconsiously, because it goes "the answer to all lifes' little spills" or something like that.

No, "lifes'" is not the correct punctuation. It goes like this:

life's = belonging to one life
lifes' = belonging to more than one life

The number of things doing the belonging is irrelevant.

And while we're on punctuation, you only drop the 's' at the end if it's a plural possession as above. Therefore, if Giles really knows his onions, they're Giles's onions.

And let's get the its it's thing sorted while we're at it:
its is possessive by implication. Therefore if we're talking about the onions that belong to it, they're its onions.

Its with an apostrophe is used to denote an abbreviation, therefore "it is" becomes "it's", so "it's for sure that a lot of people are wondering if they're really Giles's onions or if it's his marbles that are lost".

Hope that helps!

So GilesGuthrie how would you put my quote as?? I would like to get it right some day. :P
 
Dude! I put it on a page of Word and did a spell and grammar check on your quote and it should be: Beer, the cause of and solution to all of life's problems.

I think this jives with Giles explanation in some logical way, so correct your grammar(like as if it matters:P)
