Yes, it's capitalized, because it's a proper noun.\n\nThe other isn't one word it's two words, thanks giving.

One is, as I am sure you know, the contraction for you are while the other shows possesive case. There, I wrote that for all the yahooites who might read this and do not have a clue about proper English. While I am not perfect myself, some of the spellings are simply too strange at times so it is little wonder that some are confused by the two words. It is a sad sign of the times I am afraid.

It's better to say "I hardly" or "I rarely." "Don't Hardly" is a double-negative.

The word 'noun' is a noun.

You ought to be able to "logic" it out.  I think you might be making it more complicated, in your mind, than it really is.\n\n"y" is an unknown number.  2y is double that number.  \n\nThat means that there are two of "y" is 2y, or that "y" can go into 2y twice.

Half of "one and a half" is three-quarters.  Twice "three-quarters" is "one and a half."\n\n... seems to me.

no, becuz contraction words are actually 2 words combined. Isn't: is not, aren't: are not, weren't: were not, can't: can not...understand?

It's actually a corrupted adjective and a noun.\n\nIced Cream.\n\nFor example, you can't call Iced Tea Icetea.

I agree with the "you're" and "your" response. I even asked a question about that one. Other common ones: there, their, and they're or it's and its. Another one I see quite often that I find humorous is the confusion of "lose(r)" and "loose(r)."\nIt's especially funny when someone says, "your a looser."\nOkay, maybe not to everyone, but it is to me. :o)\n\nOh, how could I forget too, two, and to?

It replaces a noun or another pronoun.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pronoun\nhttp://www.uottawa.ca/academic/arts/writcent/hypergrammar/pronouns.html

It's not grammatically wrong, but it is long and awkward. The double "to" is a grammatical error--or more like a typographical one. Otherwise, it's an issue of style.

Double digit?  \n\nYou're being exceedingly charitable.

They can be used as both nouns and verbs.

Yes,\nbecause you cannot have two things contradicting each other yet both of them are correct. for example, a>= b and a<b , they cannot be both correct.\n\nWhich one is correct then? well that's for you to find out.\n\nRegards

I would agree with you; the word by its very nature is plural. It's ridiculous to try to make it more so. Perhaps if you were threatened or heavily bribed, you *might* be able to make the word redundantly plural. \n\nHow, then, should you go about this distasteful task? I would suggest looking at the etymology of the word. "Surplus" comes from several sources. I chose to look at the Latin roots: "super" (meaning "over") + "plus" (meaning "more"). After some contemplation of the problem, I at last came to one conclusion--the only possible one, I believe, considering the Latin. For of course, the only logical pluralization of surplus...is "surpli."
