: : : : : : : 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.
: I hereby declare an amnesty for the rest of this day.
Or at least the re'st of thi's thread.
Heere, heere!
