Closing down of certain cca because of NCDCC edit

Well, yes, this discussion is all about the subject of NCDCC closing down certain CCA(s). As this is a touchy subject, it is very much a personal viewpoint of the individual. Certain persons have assumed that NCDCC forced certain CCAs to close down. However, having work in a position to see the truth (my sec sch cca was not NCDCC, even then there wasn't NCDCC), I know that NCDCC don't encourage schools to close down any CCA. It is totally up to the school management to decide. By this I mean that, should the school concern decide to close down a certain CCA, then they have their reasons. NCDCC cannot be blamed because of the school's decision. Many factors influence the closing down. Setting up of NCDCC may (and probably is) one of the many reasons certain schools close down certain CCAs. However, there are many other reasons, which only the school management knows. Perhaps irate members of the cca which is closed down can check with their school for the reason, as such members would most likely only know that NCDCC is being set up. They should find out more rather than just blaming NCDCC. ZhongXiong 05:49, 1 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

With regards to the above topic started by me, I will like to add that NCDCC has a few units in certain schools which have continued to have St. John Ambulance Brigade or Red Cross Youth in their school. This goes to show that, NCDCC is only a partial decision factor for certain school's management to make a decision to close down certain CCAs. ZhongXiong 05:56, 1 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Fair use rationale for Image:NCDCC Crest.JPG edit

possessive of corps: corps' or corps's? edit

This is copied directly from Wiktionary's information desk

Is the possessive of corps: corps' or corps's? (Does it matter if it the singular or the plural?) RJFJR 20:37, 15 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

I’d opt for corps’s in the singular but corps’ in the plural.  (u):Raifʻhār (t):Doremítzwr﴿ 20:50, 15 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
Smart writers will choose “of a corps,” or the attributive corps (e.g., the corps commander, not the corps' commander)). Michael Z. 2009-06-15 22:28 z
