Worst Apostrophe Error EVER
Really. In a paper I was grading. I'm thinking of banning the apostrophe - no contractions, no possessives - for the next paper so they can think about it.

Is there supposed to be a link to this error?
....Nope - it was from a paper I was grading. Ugh! --MCT

Ugh is right. I'm grading my round of midterms this weekend. I haven't reached the essays yet, but the short answer sections hold plenty of horrors, both grammatically and factually.
