p.s.-—no apostrophe needed in citizens.

Thank you!

Well, is Mears right or is she wrong?

You should learn from what she told you. One does not make nouns plural by adding an apostrophe and then an “s.” Just the “s” will do nicely.

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 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.

I know the difference between possessive and plural .... it was 3am here in Australia and tired, okay?

As I replied to her: “I know the difference between possessive and plural .... it was 3am here in Australia and tired, okay?”

You people just can’t help yourselves,can you?

You need a space after that comma.

Comma should be a semicolon and you need a space after it.
