Grammar Cop

Based on my readers’ recent submissions, it is easy to see a pattern developing. One of the most common grammatical mistakes involves using an apostrophe when making a noun plural. What makes this error so puzzling is that it is so easy to avoid. You just need to add an “s.” The apostrophe is simply not needed.

As always, you can submit your Grammar Cop photos by tweeting them to me (@ThomRainer).
