Thank's for the link. A great piece - I like it's style.

A brilliant little piece indeed!
Don't think it will have an impact, though. People will continue to use an apostrophe like the guy pictured at the top of the Oatmeal piece- shown wielding it like a club- and I will continue to weep profusely.

I can't help it. Anytime I see apostrophes repeatedly misused, here is the mental picture I get of the author:

Anyway. Others on the Oatmeal pages might be more useful, like "I'm The Motherf**king Pterodactyl" or "6 Reasons To Keep Your Tyrannosaur Off Crack Cocaine"

Some of the other (less teacher oriented but still fun) stuff on that site. They have a quizz to tell you how likely it is that your family wants to eat you. (There's a 63% chance that my family wants to eat me. I think the giveaway was the teriyaki sauce in the bed sheets)
