    I apologize for the shameless vanity, but I'm going to propose a thread for today: Your pet peeves about others' grammar on FR. I'm not innocent. But, can we please use apostrophes for possessives and not use apostrophes for plurals? Please chime in with your pet peeves. Possessive Example: Correct: My dog's bone is in the yard. Incorrect: My dogs bone is in the yard. Plural Example: Correct: My dogs are in the yard. Incorrect: My dog's are in the yard. Admin Mod: Please move this thread as appropriate.
