Grammar 101, ... or, pet peeves Options

[agrippa]

Here's a place for us to bore eachother to death about grammar. I'll go first.

I. POSSESSIVES AND PLURALS

Most nouns are made plural by the addition of 's' or 'es'.
computer -> computers
house -> houses

Some nouns have irregular plurals.
mouse -> mice
fish -> fish

A noun is never made plural with an apostrophe.

The apostrope and 's' are used to show possession.
Ron's (belonging to Ron)
Ginny's (belonging to Ginny)

However, pronouns have their own possessive forms:
his (belonging to him)
hers (belonging to her)
theirs (belonging to them)
its (belonging to it; it's means 'it is')

The box isn't anoying, it's what the box says. I also have a problem with people saying "I did good." I think I've heard that sentance about twenty times today. Can't people say well? I had to prevent myself from jumping up in Drama class and giving a rambling lecture on what's what.
