: : This is a site 'for teacher's and students of English'. Non native English speakers might find it well worth examining (and some native ones as well!)

: I can't help it. I drive everybody I know nuts with my obsession to cure the world of grammatical errors:
: "teacher's" is possessive when I think just a plain 'ol plural--"teachers"--should do.
: Anybody know of a 12 step group for obsessive correctors?

Hey, shouldn't that be "12-step group." What keeps me in line is the thought that if I correct someone's grammar, R. Berg will correct my correction.
