Respectrepparttar apostrophe

I know, I know, this is part of punctuation. I happen to think that apostrophes have spent so long being either ignored or abused they now deserve a mention of their own. I can cope quite well with commas and full stops appearing inrepparttar 100344 wrong place but an incorrectly inserted apostrophe makes me see red. Why do so many people insist on usingrepparttar 100345 apostrophe when they clearly have no idea of its function? Beats me. An improperly placed apostrophe is to writing what a huge, ugly wart is torepparttar 100346 nose on a beautiful face. Cruel people will point and laugh at you. You think I am exaggerating? If I am part of a minority on this point, why did so many people buy "Eats, Shoots & Leaves" that it became Book ofrepparttar 100347 Year? Perhaps they thought it was a story about a panda.

Get great grammar

The rules of grammar are not difficult. Inrepparttar 100348 olden days even little kids were taught grammar at school. Like mathematical tables, grammar is no longer treated as an important subject. Most people can get through life without missingrepparttar 100349 tables which were once memorised by every child who ever went to school. People now have electronic calculators to do their mathematical thinking for them but nothing has replacedrepparttar 100350 need to understand basic grammar. Please don’t makerepparttar 100351 mistake of relying onrepparttar 100352 "grammar check" on your word processor: I am not saying that this tool is entirely without merit but, if you do not knowrepparttar 100353 rules yourself, you can create hilarious results by going along withrepparttar 100354 recommendations of your word processing package. Another good thing aboutrepparttar 100355 rules of grammar is that they don’t keep changing so, once you learnrepparttar 100356 rules, they will stand you in good stead forrepparttar 100357 whole of your writing career. Along with punctuation, it is grammar which determines whether or not your writing makes sense. If you don’t knowrepparttar 100358 rules, you will not know if your writing makes sense but other people will, believe me. (Back to pointing and laughing again.)
