question for grammar grinches

[Crankin]

As an English teacher, it kills me to see people put apostrophes when it is just a plural, not a contraction or posessive. I think some of us think that every time a word ends in an "s" that it needs an apostrophe....
The dos and don'ts are tricky, because that is sort of a slang expression, so what Denise read from the dictionary is the advice i would give students who were using it in a writing piece. And yes, numbers below ten should be spelled out.

Ha, I clearly remember Miss Francis. I think I must have been about three. And Romper Room. The "teacher" who was on the show in the Boston area was named Miss Jeanne. And for those of you MA people, anyone for Rex Trailer and a trip to Boomtown? I remember when I first moved back here in 1990, we were driving in Waltham and saw Rex Trailer's production company on a storefront, with his name on it. I got very excited, but my husband could not understand what the big deal was about a kid's TV show. I was addicted to that show until I was about nine.
