Great quality; I just wish it could be bigger so it could be seen by everyone in the classroom.

Nice but I am old to school know.

> > Apostrophes are =NEVER= used to make plurals. TVs (not TV's) 1940s (not 1940's) Fords (not Ford's) [vehicle] If the word ends in an "i" (sometimes "y"), recast the sentence. Alibi > "An alibi is not always true." (not: Alibi's are not always true.) Apostrophes represent contractions or implied letters/numbers. I can't. (I can not.) 1940s = '40s (note plurals) ~~ Why are "ellipses" and "quotation marks" given as plural examples, and all the rest are not? (An ellipsis construction shows....) (Put a quotation mark at the beginning and end of a group of words that indicate speech.) ~~ An ellipsis (3 dots) shows text that is missing. (If a fourth dot appears, it is the period at the end of the sentence. See above; and Mad Hatter example, below.) "It is a truth...that a single man in possession of a good fortune must…want…a wife." An ellipsis shows "trailing off" =only= in works of fiction or in works of casual nonfiction. The Mad Hatter declared, "I really don't want to share my chocolate...." ~~ =PLEASE= do not post this punctuation chart in your classroom! It perpetuates and gives credence to incorrect information. The more someone sees incorrect grammar, the more it seems "correct." ~~ And...please, no more "he is taller than me" constructions. Granted, "He is taller than I" is clumsy. The complete sentence actually is "He is taller than I am tall." Therefore, "He is taller than I am" is the short version that is correct. ~~ Now I beg your indulgence since italics are not available for Amazon reviews, and I was forced to use quotation marks. mb, professional editor

When did an ampersand become “punctuation” (the title of the poster)? An ampersand means “and,” which is a conjunction. Jeez.
