: : : 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.
Yes, the hyphen
belongs there. But you left out a question mark, didn't you.
The "English Rules"
site doesn't say "for teacher's and students." It says "for teachers and students."
