thanks
What is correct in these examples: (1) “Lettter” has too many ts/t’s. (2). “That is like cool. This is like awesome. He is like fun.” I used a lot of likes/like’s.
I would normally write t’s in example one, but there wouldn’t be any confusion with ts (as ts is not a word). Is this correct?
In example two, I would write like’s, as it would cause confusion with likes (likes is a word).
Now, since I’m referencing a specific word from the sentence, would I put like’s in quotes?
Thanks!
In both cases, you could avoid confusion by placing the words in quotes or italics: “ts” and “likes”
