You mean "waver"... : )

Thanks, Marla.  I agree with your reasoning.  I think I do attorneys' fees usually, but sometimes I waiver between the two, depending upon whether the sun is shining or not or if I have my favorite slippers on.  I guess I'll try to be consistent and stick with attorneys' fees, like workers' comp.

I do "attorneys' fees" because normally there's more than one attorney involved in a case.  But if you Google "attorneys fees,"  you'll see it mostly comes up "attorney's fees."

Attorney's fees or attorneys' fees?

 

Thanks!

Morson's says to use effing.

I'd use the apostrophe.  I do the same thing with CC'ing, CC'd, etc.

Okay, I just had a revelation.  One wouldn't write wouldn-t or can-t, so it makes sense to write f'ing instead of f-ing.

 

Thanks, Janiece!  ;)

Haha, I've used effing in more casual online forums, never in hard-copy writing.  :D

 

Still debating f'ing vs. f-ing.  :)

Quyen, I saw a close caption just yesterday that had "effing."  I think it's better to do f'ing or f-ing.

My preference is f'ing.

How would you write: f-ing or f'ing?

That's what the witness really said several times.  I like f-ing better.

 

Thanks!
