Anyone hear what I heard on fox2 news tonight

How would you pronounce the correct form of the word boys'? Are you trying to say that people from south of 8 mile have better than average grammar and prnounciation skills?

Boyz

Nope,just that Rome must be rubbing off on her.

Yep, "boyz" is correct, but whoever this Rome character is, it is easy to understand her state of distraction, what with him up to such hi-jinx, and all.

In any case, I think it is fair to say that almost everyone has a grammar dilemma, or two, or more, so it can be helpful, in one's effort to avoid embarrassment, to devise ways around them, especially when one is a broadcaster and preparing one's copy:

"The winter coats belonging to the boys."

However, that ship-- erroneously guided as it was-- has sailed, so my suggestion to Ms. Asher, now, would be to check her coat to make sure that Rome's boys didn't coat said coat while he was engaging in such perfectly awful behavior.
