Alright quick grammar lesson because I can't contain myself anymore. Apostrophes are NOT use to make a word plural. More than one table does not become table's. Apostrophes are for contractions and possessive.
Ok rant over. |

I can deal with it just fine, it's an online message board so I don't expect everyone to pay close attention. That's the one thing that bothers me though.
No hard feelings everybody! ![]() |

Yeah I understand it's nitpicky, but it's that one error that just bugs me. I'm not implying that I'll treat anyone any differently because of it, just that it irks me. P.S. You're gonna kill me for this one, but the saying is: if that's the "biggest/most" of your worries then you have it made. |

I've been harping on this for ages and it does no good....I even gave it a name -- APOSTROPHOBIA -- the fear of using apostrophes correctly....
By the way, there are a handful of exceptions to the "plural rule" -- For instance, if the noun is a single letter, as in a grade, it's acceptable to use the apostrophe for the plural form, as in "I got three A's on my report card." Obviously, this is just to avoid the confusion of reading "I got three As on my report card" -- a perfunctory reading of this is confusing.... |

Right you are, Lex...my goal was to start with the basics and hopefully teach exceptions later. Haha. Class schedules will be handed out later! |
