This is one of those bits of grammatical garbage. We don’t say ‘bodys’, we write ‘bodies’ as plural. We employ an apostrophe to indicate possession, such as “The body’s ability to recover”, or as a contraction of “body is”, such as in “The body’s going to recover from the strain of overexertion.”
This would be acceptable spelling for people who , in recent times, have taken to idiotically insist that the horridly uncomfortable and unnatural-sounding “The collection comprises several unique elements” is preferable — read, ‘correct’ — when compared to “The collection is comprised of several unique elements.” ‘
My attorney’s fellow attornies at his firm would concur with my assessment.
After I studied just a few of the sites, I truly enjoyed your method of presenting right way to spell. By far that is my fav English dictionary.
Actually I wasn’t taught this way. Thank you for this lesson.
