Subject: RE: BS: Grammar Police: eats shoots and leaves
I got all the comma ones correct, but the apostrophes defeated me. I cannot see how they were treating the plural posessive.

Why should kittens' coats be correct when we are now told that a trailing apostrophe is incorrect even for a possesive.

And why is it "yards' worth" ? That makes no sense.
