Correctin students' papers

Did I use that apostaphry rite on students'

I never could figure that one out

[bluesilver]

lmao

OK so this place might not have a lot of surf talk, but its got a lot of comedy

[grizldoldfk]

yes! you did use that apostrophe correctly! that is just wonderful!
alot of people are confused about that apostrophe and where to put it when wanting to denote ownership by either a singular or a plural subject.
in your example, i'm sure you intended students as in more than one...or more than one paper for me to correct...and therefore the papers were "owned" by the students (more than one) and therefore it gets the apostrophe after the s and you did not make the also common mistake of adding another s (like students's). very very good pickleweed.

Sunday evening I am lounging on the couch downstairs.

The sliding door open and listening to the wind in the trees out back.

I hear a noise as if the wind is knocking something around.

I mute the TV and discover the noise is not from the wind.

I ease the screen open and tip toe out onto the lower deck and peer into the dim moon lit expanse of our back yard.

J joins me, sleepy from the couch, and asks what it is.

I point to a tree line near the bottom of our yard.

Two figures wrestle eachother briefly and the sound of clashing antlers, rustling leaves at the hoof, and grunts meander up the yard to us.

They stop.

Touch antlers again.

Then one walks off.

It's colder in the mornings now.

Someone in the neighborhood is strapping on the antlers?

Canning a batch of Peach Pepper Relish from local ingredients. Did I mention that my boyfriend knows how to cook, can, and sew? Oh and still fix boats and cars.

Betty-thanks for the guilt trip don't worry I will be a good girl in DC now.

Strap on antlers....... wow!

[bluesilver]

those have been around since christmas was invented, though they are not considered functional for rutting season

Beltane has little to do with felt antlers...
I think it has more to do with fertility...
And running down virgin May Queens in the woods...
To the nodding approval of Druid priests...
Not that I am into that or anything...
And not that there's anything wrong with it.
