Is it common to omit a preposition (in / on / of) before “the month (year / week /day) when they are used adjectively and adverbially? I've never noticed that phenomenon before, but yes, it is common. I am interested to read the answers. This can be done with most time markers, I think. For instance, you could put last Tuesday or next May in there and it would read fine. Also, I think we'd use for with docket. |

Apostrophe Usage with Arkansas The debate you linked to is an interesting one, and a good demonstration of why this topic is so confusing. We get lots of questions on it. |

Apostrophe Usage with Arkansas I think the duplicate addresses this by referencing the proper noun exception, but if you feel you need more information, you can edit your question and include some more detail about why the duplicate doesn't address your need. |
