Happy Belated Grammar Day, Everyone!


I have it on good authority that yesterday was officially Grammar Day. In honor of the day, at least one web site hosted a limerick contest. The winning entry naturally referred to the web site's owner [suck up!--Ed.], which didn't occur to me, but for the sake of posterity, I'd like to enshrine my own, non-winning entry here:

A woman accused of apostasy
Told grammar geeks to stop accosting me
Possessives ending in "s"
Can be plural; don't guess--
I'll tell you where to put your apostrophe.

Thank you, thank you. I'll be here all week.

Where's a thumbs-up "Like" button when you need one?
