That redundant apostrophe appears on erudite material

Oops that infamous redundant apostrophe. It's always embarrassing to see this sort of error but on something as profound-sounding as a thomistic institute.

And then the modal auxiliary verb could is questionable.

Something odd about registration date.

That fraternal business can be confusing.

After all that, trying to say something about God?

A funny old world indeed.





Dear Friends,

The Thomistic Institute is hosting it's Fifth Annual Summer Conference for Priests in Baltimore, MD, this summer, August 9-11, which is entitled: Becoming a Better Preacher.

We would be grateful if you could share the enclosed information with any priests or transitional deacons you might know so they can benefit from the great program lined up for this summer.

Visit www.thomisticinstitute.org/priest2016 for more information and to register. Early registration ends next Friday, May 30.

If you have any questions, please email thomisticinstitute@dhs.edu or call (202) 495-3862.

Fraternally,

Fr. Austin Litke, OP
Conference Organizer, Thomistic Institute
487 Michigan Avenue, NE
Washington, DC 20017


Below is the first question on a test for 11-year-old children in England. 

The questions appeared on a website, which means over 500,000 children will not now be doing the test.

Add the missing apostrophe to the sentence: "That comedians jokes were hilarious." 
That comedians joke’s were hilarious. 
That comedian’s jokes were hilarious.
That comedians’ jokes were hilarious.

That Thomistic Institute is where that awful man, Thomas Petri OP, resides, who had an unwarranted go at Tony Flannery back a while.
