I also liked the section's on appostrophie usage. My solution to that problem: replace "the letter s" with "the letter apostrophe s". That way, any time you u'se the letter 's, you don't have to think about whether or not it's going to need the apostrophe. Do you 'still mi's's DMW and Jonb, Lex? Thare contribution's, I'm 'sure, would tend more toward the pedantic than toward the helpful. You peple make two much of a fu's's over gramar; punktuation's: and speling.
