what do you think of the people who write "'s" instead of the plural, for example
"i like flower's"
instead of
"i like flowers"

I think they don't know some grammatical rules. No biggy.

What bugs me is when people don't use s' for ownership, instead they use s's like in Chris's clothes (when it should be Chris' clothes)

i T ' S annoying though I sometimes have to stop and think if it's (it is) or its (possesive it - and if it is possesive then why not the rule below?)

An apostrophe is meant to be used with possesion and omission of a letter in a contraction.

Thanks for bringing that up. Now I'm (I am) confused.

Either way, they get their point across! The subject was flowers and that's the main thing.

OK, bottom line is people just don't care about grammatically correct anything! English was honestly my absolute best subject all throughout school, even in college and the majority of people just don't care - Makes me mad!!!

I think someone needs to go back to elementary 3rd grade grammer and retake the class.

It annoys me because I'm a grammar and spelling freak.

Don't even get me started on the way many questions are worded on here! ;)

They did not fully grasp the concept of "S for plural" and " 'S for possessive".

I think they should go back to 3rd grade grammar, and not grammer. If you are going to comment on grammar, atleast spell it correctly.

i think they need to stop and ponder their work for grammer. but most of the time i'm not really worrying about my grammer so do it too.
