apostrophes...They are just the thin end of the shim...
Interesting. We say "the thin edge of the wedge" same meaning. More euphonious ? A shim is commonly used by carpenters here it being a small piece of wood or metal to align something usually. A wedge is a big metal object tapering to sharp, thin edge used in splitting logs. Comments?
wow
P.S. One common misuse of apostrophes here in US is Veteran's Day for the correct Veterans Day . Drives me nuts!
