Which of these events is most likely to happen next?

[vtsnowedin]

A flaw in the pole question. Cats and dogs live together already. Just not peacefully which was omitted from the question.

Grammar Cops! Its 'which of these events is most likely to happen next.'

Spelling Cops! vtsnowedin: its a poll question, not a pole question.

Get it right, boys. Carry on. That is all.

Our cat lives really peacefully with our dog. She swats at the dog's tail if it's wagging, but that's okay.

I have ceased to wonder what will happen next. It looks like the next ugly thing may be in Gaza.

apart from the Cats and dogs I think we'll see a Chinese man on the moon before any of these things happen.

Decisions, decisions! Now, if the question, 'Which of these events are most likely to happen next?,' had been: 'Which of these events would you like to see happen next?,' I might be able to narrow it down faster.

Edit: typo

Cats and dogs will never live together, but they can coexist side by side with only occasional spats.

Much like India and Pakistan.

Cats and and one dog, anyway, are currently living in our house, so I voted that option. It's possible, but not entirely likely, we will acquire another dog in the near future, but I think it is more likely than the other scenarios. So cats and dogs living together is more likely, at least on a local level, than the other scenarios, in my opinion.

I see your point. Now I'm confused too. Hopefully Auntie will weigh in on this...

Okay y'all, simmah daahn nah...

Sometimes an apostrophe indicates a possessive -- if Bob owns the building, it's Bob's building.

Other times, an apostrophe is a substitute for missing letter or letters. In that case, Bob's building might mean "Bob is building".

For the word its, the apostrophe is used NOT for the possessive but for the missing letter...

ie
it's = it is
whereas its = possessive.

Sorry, PMS, you had it backwards.

PS -- I think the first disaster will be economic, with job losses and state budget fiascos (at least in some big states) triggering cascading belt-tightenings. I'd put yellowstone and india/pakistan tied for second, since we already have established that

How about my uncle Jasper coming over for dinner. How come yuo didn't put that on your poll? I would definitely have voted for Uncle Jasper coming.
