: : : : : 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."
: I see
I am not alone.
: And should the subject line read "Pickest" or "Pickiest"?
I
meant to do that.
