good job applying your brain.
Sometimes I feel like freshman year at college is basically 13th grade, but being away then add in so many shots to the head and he’s back to middle school level proficiency...sad
Actually, the corrections also contain an error. If you're going to mock someone online for their grammar, make sure you at least get it right.
I get emails from people with MBA's that are barely readable.
Technically none of A’s, B’s, or MBA’s should have a possessive apostrophe. I’m an English Major. Note the capitalization because English Major is a proper noun. I would not use a contraction if this were (not was because it is hypothetical) response. I do not correct anyone on here because this is a message board forum. The trick is knowing when it is ok to turn the rules on and off.
The issue I have is that this is a 300 level class. Which implies that he's already passes the 100, and 200 level English classes to be able to register for this class.
How did he get through English 101?

You aren't aware of the "athlete grade"? Maybe that didn't exist at Pitt. (Confession: I had a required math course my first semester at Temple. My first exam came back as a C. It dawned on me that maybe half the football scholarship recruit class was in that class, so . . . I started wearing my high school letter jacket to that class. I ended up with an A for the course.)
While I generally agree with Jakey_John’s comment above, with regards to the A’s (while we are in the topic, the Orioles also self-abbreviate as the O’s) apostrophes can also signify an omission of letters (for contractions or certain abbreviations), and since they are the Athletics, one could argue that point.
I also believe, per MLA, it is correct to use the apostrophe to pluralize single, lowercase letters.
However, not for pluralizing upper-case letters, numbers (like the 1990s), or combinations of letters and numbers (I prefer flying G550s)
I think it also depends on if you follow MLA, Chicago Manual of Style, APA, etc.
Yes, I think it's fine to be sloppy here. Except I will always use a Oxford comma.
I once had a "supervisor" who insisted that "it's" was the possessive form of "it", and would continually "correct" me when I wrote it otherwise. That was one of the things that made me question WTH I had gone to grad school.
It’s the new university standard. Don’t need to know it, just need the degree that says you know it.
Surely he won’t end up in a cell next to that actress married to the Fargo guy.
Exactly what it says. Read it back again. This time concentrate on context.
He either doesn't read well, has reading comprehensive issues, or decides to post responses that have nothing to do with the target post, alot.
As an English major, I have to disagree with your dual capitalization. If you are an English major, you have a studied the language at a university. If you were an English Major, I'd want to know when you served in that country's military.
It's funny that you thought you were bashing me and instead embarrassed yourself with that mess of a sentence. Never change.
