And I thought Australia was the only place that uses < ' > wrongly. Sorry to
jump on this, but as English is my second language, there are mistakes I find
very irritating. The use of the apostrophe, which means < of >, to try and
express < plural > is so common. And since language is our means of
communication, teachers everywhere should work to eradicate this awful
malexpression. It is almost as bad as calling a rest the continuation of the
preceding note.
