I am amused by the idea that with AI, EVs may become sentient property owning beings from whom we would lease chattels and pay deference to them as benevolent feudal overlords of humanity (whilst being thrilled in doing so). As ever, we are prophetic on this forum.

Apostrophe abuse is a pet peeve of mine. How difficult is it to understand the difference between indicating a plural or a possessive?
