"years" not "year's" "Year" doesn't possess anything.
Yeah, that dawned on my while I was out for my walk. :) It just looked so funny written down. But thanks for the (correct) tip!
yep, the other matt is right.
"years," in this case, is plural. the reason there's no obvious possessive here is that "my junior" is genitive case, a distinction not immediately clear in English as we don't use distinctive artices...but that's a lesson for another day.
yes, i am a language nerd.
Exactly. I could never have substituted "one year my junior" for "one year's my junior" (years being plural). Are you an editor, Matt Frye? Do you want to be?
