Charles R. Stevens Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Unfortunantly the law says your an adult at 18 (originally the constitution said 21 untile the Vietnam war) and the latest biological evidence shows that the hippocampus dost stop developing untile you are 25. So “kid” is totally appropriate. Sorry for your troubles Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Dog guys post makes it perfectly clear he's not above committing fraud AND on a public forum. I have to wonder what the lawyers on retainer for the folks who manufacture and sell the blades dog buy is altering and putting "his" mark on think of the practice? I wonder if just buying their knives voids their trademark and copy rights? If I buy new Jeeps, put wheels and paint on them, can I rename them Jerry's maybe Frosty 4x4s and legally sell them under my mark? Yeah, I have to agree with Marc 1 most of what we have to offer on the forum is sympathy and some crazy ideas though some legitimate legal advice has been offered and not an hour billed! Whatever the value of my thoughts, I'm pulling for you Steve, give him a good whoopin. I wonder what the family home is worth on the market? Frosty The Lucky.

Fenris’ Forge First of all, you mean "punctuated", not "alliterated". Second, a single name ending in "s" takes an apostrophe and another "s" to indicated possession. "S" followed by an apostrophe and nothing else is ONLY used to indicate possession by a plural subject. In other words, "Fenris' Forge" means "Forge owned by a number of people named Fenri".

Alliterate, means to have multiple words beginning with the same letter, or letter sound. Alternatively, it is used to denote when something is spelled out. I stand by usage. secondly, the apostrophe after the “s” denotes singular possession by the noun, when the noun ends with that “s”. You wouldn’t Fenris’s Forge. You say Fenris’ Forge. i hope you forge iron better than you craft words in the English language. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn’t Fenris’s Forge. You may want to check these things out before posting on a public forum. You would indeed use "Fenris's Forge" if you were doing it properly unless the word "Fenris" was itself plural - and it's not. You are also incorrect about "alliterated." You can stand by it if you wish, but that doesn't change the meaning of the word. It occurs to me that I'm wasting my time, but I've already typed this out so I guess I'll post it anyway.

Lol i’m Not an English teacher, and I don’t claim to be. Regardless, of any protests from you or anyone else on this thread about my grammar, my intent was clearly understood. That’s called communication. You guys are trying to be jerks to me because I don’t agree with Steve Sells. Oh well, some guys are the Internet are trying to be mean to me. Lol Maybe Steve should let you guys know exactly how he contacted Fenris about his supposed trademark infringement for a trademark that he doesn’t own? Have you guys seen the emails and message he wrote? Maybe you should so that all sides of the story are known. Oh, and it appears that Fenris’s Forge and Fenris’ Forge both indicate singular possession....English is such a flexible language. Glad I am not the English teacher who got that wrong.

Marc1 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Oh my ... On the topic of apostrophe use ... There is no one right answer to show possession on a proper noun ending in s. As long as you are consistent in your writing you can say Jones' car (my prefered way) or Jones's car also correct even when odd. From www.grammarbook.com Rule 1b. Many common nouns end in the letter s (lens, cactus, bus, etc.). So do a lot of proper nouns (Mr. Jones, Texas, Christmas). There are conflicting policies and theories about how to show possession when writing such nouns. There is no right answer; the best advice is to choose a formula and stay consistent.

pnut Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 I wasn't asking you if you are an English teacher. It seems you should reread the post. I was asking the English teacher you were erroneously correcting. The interaction between you and Mr Sells is exactly as described by him. He asked you to stop using a name he has been using for twenty years and you refuse. I imagine this thread will be closed soon so just let me finish by saying to call your business a forge you must forge something.

I didn’t think you were talking to me. However, I was giving clarification that I was not an English teacher (and here is where you might need to brush up your vocabulary) I corrected his erroneous critique of my usage of the English language. Perhaps go back to the Pnut gallery if you can’t add anything of value to the topics at hand, hm? Lol i am not Fenris either, don’t you understand that? I’m just someone that knows him and cannot abide seeing someone being bullied and trashtalked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc1 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Message to Mr Dog_guy ... Josh or Fenris: In life there are fights you need to win, fights you need to lose, and fights you don't need to have. In this case it is blatantly obvious that you don't need this fight. Your age, the nature of your business, the location of your business, the time you have been in business all will scream to the magistrate that you have little to nothing to defend but a bit of hurt pride of being caught out. Change the name and be done with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnut Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Here is something of value to add. A guy with a belt sander chopping on other people's knife designs does not a forge make. In order to call yourself a forge you have to forge something besides a name. Pnut Have a great day and I recommend covering up your family's car the next time you are in the garage using your belt sander. The grit isn't good for the paint.

Lol I’m not Fenris. I have had no personal interaction with Mr. Sells. I don’t have a business to rename. I know Fenris and I have posted here to support his stance that legally he has done nothing wrong. This might sound strange to you guys who only want to bully random strangers on an internet thread, but people have friends and their friends will defend them. Especially when someone someone comes along like Mr. Sells trying to be a bully and top notch jerk. not that there is any problem with Mr. Sells initiating contact with people with xxxxxxxxx Mode activated, however, he should has xxxx affairs in proper legal order before trying to do so.

Steve Sells Posted June 7, 2019 Author Share Posted June 7, 2019 You should be careful of impersonating a lawyer, you are not doing a very good job of it. My legal affairs are in order, just because you cant find records of my registry does not mean I dont have them. Josh will be finding out soon enough sadly he wants legal trouble so now he gets it, too bad it takes so long for the wheels of justice to turn, and the law does state first in time, first in line as well as the required defending of a trade name, that is first year business law stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that what you took from “degreed professional”? Lol if your business acumen is anything like your ability to communicate honestly and effectively with others, I believe Fenris and Fenris’ Forge are safe from any harm you may wish upon them. you should be careful of impersonating someone with a trademark, when you don’t have one I suppose.
