Highest bid? Not suggesting a ban but a slap on the wrist by someone with authority perhaps?

Cheers for that. A struggle at the best of times.
@gbj_tester so is it an apocope, or not? -

Poor use of English rather than poor forum etiquette. He clearly means OBO

is it an apocope, or not?
It's regarded as a form of apocope, although I'd probably reserve that term for linguistics rather than mere morphology within one language.

Perhaps the grocer's' apostrophe could be removed from this thread title?
Done

is it possible to get google to unindex a comment from the forum..? if you search for a url it shows up in the results, ive removed the url from my comment but is there anything else i need to do?

You can take the URL of the page and ask Google to index it. They will then out it back on the queue and the new content will update the index. I can't remember the page but you can Google that easily enough

First post an eBay listing with added LFGSS tax. Jog on sunshine...
Probably got the cunt some free advertising though, judging by the bids just put on the listing. Bollocks.
No, it's incorrect.
The contraction in this case doesn't have anything to do with the relationship between two words, as in 'it's', contracted from 'it is'. 'Bibs' is just a plural, and in English there are very, very few instances in which an apostrophe is useful in a (non-possessive) plural, and generally that's not because there's a contraction, but just to make the meaning clearer, e.g. if you talk about multiples of one letter of the alphabet, you can spell it 'three A's'. As there is the word 'as', it might be more confusing in certain combinations to spell it 'As'.
Other uses, for instance:
'Bib's' is a possessive only, and that's not what's meant in this thread title. Also, as 'bibs' is short for 'bib shorts', its possessive is "bibs' ", as in 'the bibs' stitching', for instance.
