UK study suggests games contribute to dearth in vocabulary

Dec 16th 2006 3:47PM (Joystiq)
The English teacher's here. Gaye, number 41, "American's" does not require the apostrophe. "American's" is a possessive, and you simply needed the plural "Americans." In addition, "aren't to swift" should read "aren't too swift." Also, your "thing's" should read "things"; you don't need the possessive form. Again, "require's" should read "requires." And finally, the syntax of your final sentence is completely awkward, not to mention the fact that it's a run-on sentence. Try inserting a comma before your "and" conjunction. You're welcome.

I'm sorry if I overlooked it, but it seems to me that no one has noticed that the first poster, in his rant about those who are and are not smart, said: "Heres a rule of thumb I once read on a blog: If you have to ask if your smart. You aren't." I beleive it should read "if you're/you are smart." :P
