I was IDed for the STUPIDEST thing today.

If the food was good who cares. Free market at work baby!

You're lucky they serve bacon and eggs at all. Pretty soon eating meat will be considered inhumane.

Lol that is weird. If they're food is really good I would still go. Since I would already be taking out my wallet to pay, pulling out my ID wouldn't be that big of a deal.

You could have saved us all some time and written:

I was IDed for bacon.

"Have you EVER heard of ANYTHING that stupid?"

Yes. Someone writing way too many details just to say they were IDed for bacon.

That's Great! Keep us updated!

Better ID ed for bacon than I died for bacon.

Typing or writing IDed always seems so wrong to me.

Also when trying to type grades, like I got all As or A's (but it isn't a conjunction or possessive)

I died for that bacon.

I feel you. Don't worry too much about it. Nobody gives a crap about the written language anymore. The most important thing is being able to be understood.

Apostrophes are for contractions or possessives as most of us know, BUT they can also be used for plurals of letters or numbers, especially if omitting them creates ambiguity. For example, if you want to indicate the plural of the letter I, you can write I's, because just writing Is creates an entirely different meaning to that which you're aiming to convey.

As many on this website would say, "Your welcome"

Thank you! I didn't know that was proper. It's always been one of those things that I was curious about but not quite enough to google it. Nice to have a definitive answer.

IDed and ID'ed are both correct.

Have I ever heard of anything that stupid? Yes, a 22yo college grad that claims he "can't find a job" and lives at home. Actually that surpasses being ID'ed for bacon and eggs.

The cashier asked for ID because she wanted to stalk you.

Don't give Jamin any ideas.

You are one of those people who think the rules don't apply to you, if their policy is to ID for bacon purchases what's the big deal.

Interesting.

The way that I would write A's is 'A's.

It probably isn't grammatically correct, but I think that it's the best way to get my point across.

That is funny...another policy brought to you by our ever thoughtful action controlling friends on the left.

ID to buy bacon? Absolutely necessary to protect the public's health.

ID to Vote? Never, that's an invasion of privacy and would interfere with our ability to rig elections.
