If you ever went to the Starbucks in West Village, Dallas, two years ago and saw a wireless network called " Porn for Jesus", well... you have me to thank for it.

Ok. Please pay a little more attention to the difference between possessive and plural. It's basic grammar school English.

Plural = ending with an s.
Possessive = ending with an 's.
plural possessive = ending with an s'.

The less we pay attention to basic accuracy, the more we expose others to our mistakes. It's not like we have to use a semicolon or anything. this is just the one of the basics of using English at a 5th grade level.

"9. GM's Car Troubles: Whose Faults Is It?"

That is incorrect. The word, "Faults" should be "Fault". You will never hear fault being used with an s on the end when applying blame in English unless someone is referring to earthquake faults. In short, there is never an s on the fault when applying blame. It is her fault. It was their fault. You can, however, say that someone has their many faults.
