| If you are in New York City, you can read it at the Library of Performing Arts Research Collection. They have a typescript. | |

| At least one person here has read it because they commented that there aren’t as many penis’s in the script as there were in stage. So it is out there somewhere! | |

| Which does lead one to ask--what is the proper plural for penis? Penises (I think that's right), penii (I know, that's not right, but it is still fun)? I know that the plural of octopus is not octopi, but either octopuses or octopodes is acceptable (the latter would be the correct form in Attic Greek). What would the term be in venery? A plethora of penises? A preponderance of penises? |

| Is this really a question? As a professor, you must have puzzled as I have over where people get the idea that 's makes a plural for anything... | |

| No, it's not a question, just a bit of frivolity while I avoided watching the debate. And, yes, the misuse of the apostrophe in forming plural nouns drives me mad, but I thought it churlish to raise the issue and play grammar monitor with another poster, especially as I find autocorrect often makes me seem either illiterate or losing my cognitive powers. I don't assume that of the "penis's" poster, but it just got me thinking in a lighter mood--needed something to lift my spirits in the midst of the heat and humidity (both on the TV screen and outside). That's all, as Miranda Priestly would say. By the way, my students are as likely to omit apostrophe's in contractions or possessives as they are to insert them into plurals. Maybe there's some kind of law of conservation of punctuation--they give and take away in equal measure. Or they all seem like they are translating their writing from German (if only!). |

| My guess is that the Tony Voters were sent scripts so there should be 700 of them out there. Find a Tony Voter! | |
