Subject: RE: BS: Plurals don't require apostrophes!
I'm sorry, I know punctuation doesn't matter that much as long as we're correctly understood, but I was taught to do it correctly, and that's what I'll try to do. I also got plenty of work out of proof-reading, correcting and teaching people how to write effective English. So if I see something badly written, badly punctuated or wrongly spelled it just points out to me that whoever wrote it doesn't really care enough. But I do enjoy people's writing here, bringing in slang, dialect and colloquialisms and wild punctuation.

George, where Henry had had 'had', had had 'had had'. 'Had had' had had the teacher's approval.
