It’s Not Possessive

So, let me get this straight:

Flora Say Is, “You’ll love…”

That’s not just a possessive / contraction problem, as most apostrophe errors are. That’s a totally bewildering un-English-ism.

And, by the way, how cool is it this – my kids are so excited about proper English that my oldest snaps photos of errors as we drive around!

   You can find a lot of that problem here in Miami, too.

   That is great. I wonder if you and your son could write a book with examples of bad and good grammar?
