List of The Newsroom episodes
Hello, could please stop adding episode 2 to the episode list. IMDb is not a reliable source, thus it's unacceptable to add the article at this time. For your reference formatting, this edit here is fine, except the reference needs to placed next to the thing you are sourcing. I also noticed you added your name as the author, which is not how it's done. Regardless, I remind you again, IMDb is not a reliable source, so please do not add it again. Thank you.

Getting it: Martin Luther King
Hi.

Re this: Sometimes it pays to consider the possibility that others might just be dead right, and to wonder who it is that isn't getting it. From English possessive:


 * A notable construction is that of the type a friend of mine, two books of John's, where of plus a possessive pronoun effectively means "out of all of mine/John's". Logically of me and of John might be expected, but these are usually less idiomatic. (Alternative phrasings are one of my friends and two of John's books.) This is sometimes called the double genitive, double possessive or oblique genitive. Some regard it as a questionable usage, although it has a history in careful English, and there is sometimes no idiomatic alternative. It is generally confined to human referents: a friend of the Gallery would be used rather than ...of the Gallery's. Its use sometimes resolves ambiguity, as in a picture of the king’s (one owned by the king), as distinct from a picture of the king (one portraying the king).

Happy getting. Cheers. --  Jack of Oz   [pleasantries]  19:54, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
