Does the plural of see have an apostrophe?
Never. As apostrophes represent ownership or a contraction I do not believe sees has an apostrophe.
Would you spell parents with an apostrophe?
It depends on whether you are simply using the plural noun (no apostrophe) or forming a possessive (with an apostrophe). Examples:
- The school sent a letter to all parents. [Plural noun. No apostrophe.]
- We found a parent's cellphone after the meeting. ["Parent" is singular, so the apostrophe, making it a possessive, goes before the 's'.]
- The police came to his parents' home on Monday. ["Parents" is plural, so the apostrophe, making it a possessive, goes after the 's'.]
If the parent is suffering from a form of dementia or an illness that prevents he or she from conducting their personal and financial affairs then adult guardianship is needed if there is no power of attorney in place. Generally the costs is paid by the patient's insurance (private, Medicare, Medicaid). The social worker or nursing home administrator will assist the family in issues surrounding the admittance and care of the person including financial matters. The amount of Medicare and/or Medicaid is determined by the financial status of the patient in relation to federal and state laws governing the matter. Family members are not personally responsible for the costs of the patients care even if they hold POA or legal guardianship.
Why is an apostrophe used for the word don't?

Nessie is neither a boy or a girl because there is no scientific evidence that Nessie even exists. Most believers in Nessie seem to think that it is some form of prehistoric aquatic dinosaur. However Loch Ness was buried under a mile of ice during the last Ice Age, which only ended ten thousand years ago, and there have been several other Ice Ages since the extinction of the dinosaurs so this seems incredibly unlikely.
The name "nessie" signifies that it is female.
Your 16 your parents make you pay rent 50 dollars a week can they legally do that?
They can do that legally, but that is just wrong.
I would think this is their way of teaching you how to handle a budget. When you move out it will cost a lot more.

Why are communism and fascism considered at opposite ends of the political s pectrum?
The reason is because the political systems of government can be looked at based on power and wealth distribution and the populace of a nation and measured by the wealth gap of citizens. The spectrum can be looked at like this.
Fascism - power = power (force/military/police state) (Nazi Germany)
Capitalism - money = power (rich rule) (really what the US is today)
Republic - majority = power, however minority rights are protected through a bill of rights all citizens have in order to protect them from an oppressive minority (religious freedom for example), and wealth distribution is not strongly governed however there is a basic infrastructure in place to allow motivated citizens to excel. (What the US Constitution attempted to establish)
Socialism - majority = power, however the rights of citizens are more progressively controlled through the system in order to ensure that all citizens are afforded equal opportunity regardless of how wealthy they are born (infrastructure, education including college, medicine, living wage for students, etc... is paid for by collective taxation). (France, Canada, Holland, Sweden, etc..etc.. most civilized democracies)
Marxism - ruling class = power, wealth is distributed in order to have society work as a single unit, greatly reducing the wealth gap, information is controlled.
Communism - ruling class = power, however the government's job is to ensure that wealth distribution gives equality to all citizens regardless of skill, all citizens are equal (in "ideal" communism).
In this respect, fascism is force of the ruling class, and the bulk of the nations wealth is in the hands of a very small % of citizens. On the opposite end of the spectrum communism's goal is to eliminate any wealth gap (or even a need for money, food is often evenly rationed, housing is provided by the government, citizens are assigned jobs, etc...). There is also the concept of individualism at the fascist/capitalist end where a citizen born into privilege will simply excel, and a poor citizen will die in a gutter without support. The systems range from selfish to selfless in respect to individualism.
