    Careful! You're trying too hard. You might accidentally do it write!

    John, I found one that's incorrect.

    No. 8. "Effect" is a noun. OK, I'll give 'em that, but it can also be a verb; By doing this or that, I can "effect" a change. Which means I can create a change. I can also "affect" a change by doing things a bit differently.

    RE #2, I was always taught that a plural could be possessive but the Apostrophe comes after the s as in The girls' dresses.

    Yep, I thought so, but didn't take the time to actually look it up. They're putting more and more words into the dictionary than I was allowed to use when I went to school.
