He would like the attached posted in place of what is listed?

Nice try

When you don't know how to make something possessive, you don't just insert a dash.


"...work on making the Senior Public Policy Advisors -- titles consistent."

The opposite of "create"

Itz really a fairly simple concept

I have no specific examples, but I have seen numerous misuses of its and it's lately. I don't know if it's just carelessness, or if people really don't grasp the difference.

This sentence has so much wrong with it....

"Pryor, 49, of Norman said party workers are trying to make sure Democrats who vote only in presidential election years get out to vote this year and to persuade registered Democrats who have been voting Republican to return to their party."

First of all, the "of Norman" should be in a different sentence. Choose either the "49," (*does it matter how old the chair of a state political party is??) or the "of Norman," but not both. Second, "party workers," the predicate noun, is followed by the two verb phrases: "are trying to make sure" and "[are trying] to persuade." But there is too much info between these phrases and the "to persuade" seems to come out of nowhere.

This has not been my most eloquent grammar explanation but it's sunday morning and I'm tired.

I would expect more from Crane's
