Women have always been judged by what they wear. In our society, the less clothing a woman wears the more she is considered immodest and indecent. A Muslim woman in shorts is a social pariah. Clusters of women or gatherings of men will stop and stare and whisper about her. She…

In France, the Socialist government imposed a “secularism charter” in every school, banning Christianity from the educational system. Municipalities have already changed the enrollment form for schoolchildren by eliminating the words “father” and “mother”, replacing them with “legal manager 1” and “legal manager 2”. It is George Orwell’s…

After the ban on burkinis in Cannes, the issue of Muslim women covering their faces has become the focal point of discussion recently. Is it right to cover your face and your whole body for the sake of religion and are European governments right in their assumption that banning full-face…
Terrorist beginnings The previous year France and Belgium had to face very serious attacks to the integrity of their nation. In the mid-1980s Belgium had already an experience of terrorist actions. Primarily engaged in bombings within Belgium’s borders the CCC or Cellules Communistes Combattantes (Communist Combatant Cells) attacked perceived enemies of communism, specifically NATO, US […]
“The proportion of the population who identify as having no religion – referred to as ‘nones’ – reached 48.5% in 2014, almost double the figure of 25% in the 2011 census. Those who define themselves as Christian – Anglicans, Catholics and other denominations – made up 43.8% of the population.” {People of no religion outnumber […]

“De gemiddelde tachtigjarige kerkganger verlangt niet naar de hemel. Die zegt niet ‘gelukkig, ik ben er bijna’, nee, die zit er helemaal niet op te wachten. En terecht, hoe mooi de hemel ook zal zijn, wij zijn niet geschapen voor leven in de hemel – maar voor de aarde. De nieuwe aarde! Ik merk als […]

Na de herdenking van 11 september moeten wij toch ook even na denken hoe het lijden ons leven beheerst maar ook hoe wij dit lijden in ons geloofsleven kunnen betrekken. Sommigen denken dat wij ons lijden niet in onze gezangen mogen opnemen. Er zijn kerkgemeenschappen die denken dat wij enkel lof liederen mogen zingen en […]

“Life Goes On” Whether we’re going through the worst of times or the best of times, history and our own experiences show us that life does go on. This is true, but I don’t recommend saying “life goes on” to someone who is grieving the loss of a loved one. “There…

When the World Stood Still .. 15 years ago we heard incredible news of a “severe accident”. The news went out that a terrible accident happened in New York which was sent out on television live. We could not believe what happened so rushed to the television to see what was going on. At 8:46 a.m. […]

“Situaties en personen komen bij ons zoals het licht dat we erop schijnen vanuit onze gedachten. Hoe onbewust oordelen we anderen door het licht dat in ons is, veroordelen of keuren hen door ons begrip van wat goed en fout is, eerbaar en oneerbaar! We laten gewoon ons oordeel gelden door het licht wat in ons is.”
– Laura Ingalls Wilder

Originally it was “Marcus Space” but I was corrected about it when it would have to mean “the space of Marcus Ampe” that it should have an ” ‘s” added being “Marcus his space”.
Your thought is welcome, because I would love to know how it best would be. Before I changed it from Marcus Space I had done some search about the grammatical rules. Though not a linguist and not knowing the English language properly, having also to decide to take the UK, American or Australian English I chose the English from the United Kingdom (my mother having been born there and having lived there as well)
Looking at the Possessive adjective, personal and other pronouns in the Practical English Grammar edition of 1960/1969,impression of 1976 it is written it should be Mary’s father, when it is the father of Mary and Marcus’s blog when it is the blog of Marcus.
I am called Marcus and not Marcu, so according to what I understand of the grammatical rules explained in my old grammar book, from the period I had to teach in England (not language but a.o. history), I thought I should use the apostrophe s denoting “my space” is the space of Marcus Ampe = Marcus his space => Marcus’s Space.
I do know lots of things have been changed in Dutch, French and German, the languages spoken in Belgium where I live know and in 1999 I had a very serious car accident which made I lost my memory and lots of my knowledge and ability to speak several languages. But I want to continue to learn and where there is something wrong I would like to correct it.
So I would appreciate it if you would enlighten me please.
Thanks for taking the interest for visiting my blog and for willing to comment on it.
God bless.
