The apostrophes section has got the wrong answers...you can't trick me!! :p

[lame]

Some of those fooled me too. ;)

So what did you get?

I thought it would be a piece of cake, but only got 67% :{

[Hugh Jarse]

I got 85%. :(

Where's Spelling Man(TM) and his trusty friend Punctuation Boy(TM)?:O

I'd love to see how Punctuation Boy goes :} :}

[Pinky the pilot]

I am truly ashamed of myself!!! Only 67%:( :{
Although I admit being fooled into thinking no apostrophe when 'apostrophe ess' was in fact correct on two questions, there was one question in the comma section with which I would argue!!:*

You only live twice. Once when
you're born. Once when
you've looked death in the face.

[Robinxoog]

92%

And the disturbing thing is, the one apostrophe question I got wrong, I only got wrong because I have read different opinions on the use of apostrophes, and followed one that differs slightly from the rules used there.

Please, someone employ me: I clearly have way too much time on my hands!

[eyeonthesky]

Well Hugh, I must confess we got slapped and caned - well a cane of sorts : they used to hit us with the cane handle of a feather duster ...

Of course this was a looong time ago (60's) ... I think they were getting back at the world for having to wear those long black habits - and of course for being sexuality repressed...

[Cloud Cutter]

67, %'s (15 more characters)

[dghob]

It was' a real, shock to me, bu't I only got, 58%. I thnk' I rushe'd it a bit though,

[Hugh Jarse]

Eye,
That bought back memories. The cane on the feather duster:{. Being left-handed didn't help either. In their futile attempts to change me, they would chant "That's the hand of Satan" as the cane came down on the knuckles of my left hand!:} :E

Never mind, I always got even with the b'stards ;)

Ahh, the 60's. The halcyon days of corporal punishment :ouch:...Who else saw Armstrong walk on the moon?

I am off after my 85% effort, to give up flying. I cannot see through this, are we in A E I O or U airspace.:D

[Avtrician]

33% but I' m sure the keyboard kept moving, or may be it was the mice.

:yuk:

[Jetstar_Virgin]

Why would you bother?

[deadhead]

92%.
I didn't get 100% because the answer children's is not correct. It should be either childrens', or child's. In fact children's would never make sense since the apostrophe before the s represents a singular particle, but the word children refers to more than one. At least, I think so.

Might have to get back to basic's on that one.
