Backwoodsman for the sake of accuracy it must be pointed out that our resident pedant started the craze. He in fact goes further and corrects grammar and use of English. I merely make a token attempt to redress the balance periodically.

Plenty of proof from his innumerable postings to prove the point.

Touché feelé, Dr Quelch. I'll let you off the extraneous full stop after "Dr" this time, as, for all I know, you may be one o' them thar yanks.

"...not bringing to the students' attention" does indeed require the apostrophe. "Students'" here is the possessive case. Omitting the apostrophe betrays nothing less than a tendency towards the illiterate.

People who think they know it all really annoy we who do.
Shouldn't that be "us what do?" :-)

I was reprimanded by..... for saying that, "I am presently, an atheist."
Several things: your incorrect use of commas; your pretentious use of "presently" when better alternatives are available; and your apparent vacillation over whether you're an atheist or not. Apart from all that, it's fine.

It's amusing to see that the posts of the two right-wingers here who moan about declining standards of literacy are themselves generally replete with errors of grammar and punctuation, not to speak of inelegant expression. They are also the people who sneer most at the errors of other people's posts. Ironic, eh?

Many other examples in plentiful threads!
