This list seems quiet these days. Perhaps we can liven things up.

I'd like to recommend an article: "Language Arts Standards and the
Possessive 'Apoxtrophe.'" It appears in the April 19 issue of Education
Week, p. 45. The article shows how few uses of the "possessive apostrophe"
truly have anything to do with possessing something.
