I know my grammar - I was in a rush and just did it automatically. To me it was juvenile to post a correction to me in public. I don’t correct people here. I fail to see why she even bothered to mention it.

I mentioned it because I’ve been corrected——and I appreciate it.

My apologies. I should have remembered that you do have a good grasp of the English language.

OTOH, I see that error of making a noun plural by adding the unneeded apostrophe and then the “s” so, so many times that I thought it a good opening to reinforce what Meade wrote.

Again, I’m sorry.
