Life / Do you think that Polish people are rude? [951]

Well I stand corrected. For some reason I thought nouns were included in second person....

I guess I should have checked Wikipedia first :)

Silly me, I put the apostrophe in the wrong place- apologies- to correct this I rewrite:
Anglo-Saxons' and strangers'.

Silly old goose, you don't need an apostrophe :)

The words you used and how you were trying to use them was in a plural(more than one) tense.

To pluralize words that do not end in "s", one only needs to add an "s". Example: Jerk is a singular word meaning there is only 1 jerk here. Adding the "s" making the word jerks means that there are more than one jerk here :)

To pluralize words that end with an "s", one only needs to add an "es" to the end. Example: Glass is a singular word. Glasses is the plural tense of the word meaning you have more than one glass.

Now, please explain your well thought out, deep and meaningful bunch of swear words to me.

Actually, they were meaningless words used in attempt to be humorous :) Besides you can't even get apostrophe use correct :)

All kidding aside, you write well for not being a native English speaker. Apostrophes and commas are the most abused punctuation in writing English :)

Third person? Do you mean addressing people per Pan/Pani(Mister/Madam)?

I believe this is considered the "second person" in English.

on the author has mulled on for some time

One might think that this is indeed possible.

Again, the way to address stranger's is in Polish in the third person- to Anglo-Saxon's this seems excessively polite but if this is the way one has been taught it is normal- it would be rude if one says "you" if one does not have their permission, especially to the older generation.

An apostrophe either displays possession or is used when omitting words such as not, will, or is. One only needs to add the letter "s" to the words stranger and Saxon in order to make them(the words stranger and Saxon) plural.

Example: The knife was Nicole's. The knife didn't belong to OJ Simpson.

The example of apostrophe use in the first short sentence clearly shows possession stating that the knife belongs to Nicole. In the second sentence the apostrophe is used to combine the two words did and not. That being said, the knife did nnt belong to OJ. Apparently the glove didn't either :)
