Marrakech apostrophe

1) Apocryphal Middle Eastern punctuation analog to the Oxford (or Harvard) comma; 2) a way to take the wind out of gasbags who think that "proper" punctuation is somehow an indicator of either intelligence or social worth; 3) an example of how different cultures use punctuation differently, but still correctly-in Marrakech, the apostrophe is used with all plurals but not with the possessive.

"I believe it is vital to use proper punctuation, like the Oxford comma!"

"Dude, the Marrakech apostrophe is even more important, otherwise the meaning gets fraked!

FWP (Friends with Possibilities)

Someone you think you like romantically and they might too but you are seeing each other as “friends”. The most potentially rewarding and deeply terrifying part of any new relationship. Not trying to just hook up but not ready to use the L word. Noticing you are having “feelings” for someone who is just a hangout buddy. Do they feel the same?

I’m seeing that girl again this weekend. I’m starting to feel FWP (Friends with Possibilities) energy but not sure if she just wants me as a friend (worse, sibling). Should I make my feelings clear and risk losing her or just wait and see where it goes? Argggh!
