My neighbor and his wife like to give my boys treats and pets, but the fence made it hard. ❤️

He cut a window added hinges and a latch so he could pet the dogs.

The* boys

Just cuz we legally "own" them doesn't mean we gotta refer to them that way! I'd never refer to MY dogs like that

...wait

How do you know this?

edit Oh you mean the neighbor saying that. I'm slow.

*our.

This is an edit and not a footnote. Therefore the * comes before the word and not after.

I can't say if you're technically correct as far as MLA formatting or whatever but I've been on the internet for 30 years and basically everyone puts the asterisk after the word they're correcting. I don't think I've ever seen it the way you're describing lol

I have too and I can safely say the opposite. I think I've seen people put it after instead of before maybe a handful of times.

Can I ask what country you're from? Is it possible it's regional?
