Poisonwood Bible Research Project question

[FishNChips]

You have an assignment to write about a book that you haven't read? Sack Up! Read the F-Ing Book and do the assignment you f-ing J-Arse!

College, right? How much free time do you have? Read the book, do the assignment and quit biyaching about it.

Oh, and Matt's point about fawning over the book is a good one.

Jeez, college kids these days!

ps.. Matt: I read the Not the Hippopotomus book to my 8 month old almost every day.. its a classic!

its high school, not college. and there is no point to reading the book because our research project doesnt have anything to do with the book, only a quote from it about the topic we chose. so i'll pass on reading it.

for your quote:

But Not the Hippopotamus - a children's storybook. Just use the title as the quote.

for your grade:

the apostrophe is used to indicate belonging, possession, ownership or word contraction. it is not used for the plural. several poker professionals are "pros," not "pro's."

the plural for hippos can be hippopotamuses or hipopotami. both are correct. if something belongs to the hippo, it is hippopotamus' or hippopotamus's, with preference given to the former.

Whilst I am a fervent supporter of your pro-apostrophe crusade; I feel constrained to point out that it is also customary to begin a sentence with a capital letter.
