Some English Knowledge

[sense]

English is not my 1.language so I could not decide which one is true so I will ask

which one below is meaningful or meaningless or both?

Internet Top 100
Internet's Top 100

I'm asking cause I have the domain iTop100.com. at first it seemed me a good one but now it seems me meaningless.

So can anyone with a good english answer?

[dapcgenius]

Internet's Top 100 sounds cool...:cool:

[Chicken]

If you are asking which one best goes with your domain iTop100.com, then I'd say Internet Top 100.

[sense]

sure chicken but I want to know whether "Internet Top 100" com is a meaningful expression or not. Cause it seems me meaningless when I translate it to my own language.

just like "Web Top 100" or "Web's Top 100" .which one is true or meaningful?

[Jan]

How does "The internet's top 100" and "The web's top 100" translate? They sound better to me in English.

[sense]

:rolleyes:

well all I want to know is "Internet Top 100" is a meaningful expresion or not !

meaning should it be "Internet's Top 100" ?

i think its internets top 100
like
somebodies favorite team is right, somebody favorite team is wrong

but i am not sure

I think I understand your question, you're asking whether the phrase "Internet Top 100" means anything in English. For example, "cat sail dog peanut" doesn't mean anything, but "tap-dancing polar bear club" does.

In answer, yes, "Internet Top 100" makes sense and an English speaking person would know what it was about. But, "Internet's Top 100" is more correct-- plus, it sounds better.


somebodies favorite team is right, somebody favorite team is wrong I don't know what you're getting at... it's "somebody's favorite team is right" or "somebody's favorite team is wrong".

[Dusty]

Going further, grammatically "Internet's Top 100" and "Web's Top 100" are correct, "Internet Top 100" and "Web Top 100" are wrong. The "Top 100" belongs to the "Internet", therefore it takes an apostrophe "s" to show its ownership. But, as it's a title and a name, the grammar doesn't really matter so much. It's like "dog food", that should either be "dog's food" or "food of the dog", but anyone would know what "dog food" meant without question. If you're asking would people understand what "Internet Top 100" is, yes, they would. If you're asking which is right, grammatically, it's "Internet's Top 100". If you're asking which I would suggest using, I'd say the later, it just sounds better.

thanks Dusty was so helpful.

I was thinking not to renew my domain "iTop100.com" but I changed my mind now.
thanks

post a poll and maybe you can actually read the results a bit better.

[jw]

actually it could be either...Internet's Top 100 would say that the Top 100 belongs to the Internet, but Internet Top 100 is using Internet as an adjective instead.
