So while reading an article about some USA politics thing, I stumbled across this passage (the important part highlighted; the story itself is not the point here…
I’ve always wondered how to make the -ing suffix? work correctly with words end in a vowel. Like “office” becomes “officeing?” or “officing?”, but both look awkward (Chrome spell checker sez the former is wrong and the latter is a possible correction.). The latter is acceptable with the sorta-vowel “y”, so “pinkying” locks ok, if even a word. This apostrophe usage, dropping the vowel (offic’ing) above is interesting. But is it correct English spelling or grammar. What do style guides show?
META: The easy part is it took ~1 second to capture that screen snip, 15 seconds to add the yellow & red highlights, 20 seconds to make a new blog entry, The ~1 minute to add the first sentence and upload the screen snip.
