Progressives are Stresses
In Stewart Pidd Hates English, the authors dedicate a section to possessives nouns and pronouns. Nouns followed by an apostrophe –s (‘s) are possessive nouns. The added –‘s indicates ownership. Consisting of the possessive noun and the object it possesses is a possessive noun. The rules for possessive noun phrases are: Add an –‘s to show possession if the singular nouns do not end in –s. If plural nouns don’t end in –s, add an –‘s to show possession. For singular nouns that end in –s, add an –‘s to point out possession. If a plural nouns end in –, just add an –‘ to show ownership. Possessive pronouns apparent ownership and don’t need an apostrophe. For joint possessions, an apostrophe only needs to be added to the last possessive noun. In the essay “The Land That Is Ludville” written by Stewart Pidd, he fails to accommodate the rules of possessives.
Pidd also makes an error in punctuating possessive pronouns; He misplaces the apostrophe between –t and –s in, “it’s retirement” (1). The retirement fund belongs to the Fertilizer Workers. The singular pronoun “it’s” ends in –s. Possessive pronouns don’t make the need for an apostrophe, this is because they already signify ownership. To fix the error Pidd needs to remove the apostrophe between the –t and –s. The corrected phrase will read: “its retirement”
Pidd seems to have trouble punctuating the singular possessive nouns not ending in –s. The singular noun “monkeys’ retirement” (2) does not end in –s. The rule for singular nouns that don’t end in –s is to add an apostrophe and –s. To repair the error Pidd must remove the apostrophe after the –s, instead he can add an apostrophe and then a –s. The corrected phrase will look like this “monkey’s retirement”.
An error ocurrs involving a plural possessive noun ending in –s. Pidd misplaces the apostrophe between the -d and the –s in, “Lud’s petting” (2). The petting zoo belongs to the Lud family. The plural noun “Lud’s” ends in –s. For plural nouns ending in –s, you only add an apostrophe. To abolish the error, Pidd should remove the apostrophe between the –d and –s. The corrected phrase will read: “Luds’ petting”.
Mr. Pidd should pay more attention on his possessives, in order to write properly. Then and only then will he become the great writer and teacher of English.

Pidd’s Perfect Possessives
In the book, Stewart Pidd Hates English, Pollitt and Baker explain what possessives are and the rules for using them (216). According to Pollitt and Baker, possessives are nouns that end in an apostrophe (216). The first rule for using possessives is that people should use an apostrophe and then an –s after singular nouns that are not followed by an -s (Pollitt and Baker 216), the second rule for using possessives is that people should use an apostrophe and then an –s after plural nouns that are not followed by an -s (Pollitt and Baker 216), the third rule for using possessives is that people should use an apostrophe and then an –s after singular nouns that are followed by an -s (Pollitt and Baker 216), the fourth rule for using possessives is that people should use just an apostrophe after plural nouns that are followed by an -s (Pollitt and Baker 216), the fifth rule for using possessives is that people should use an apostrophe and then an –s after just the final noun in compound possessives with joint possession (Pollitt and Baker 221), and the sixth rule for using possessives is that people should only use an apostrophe after possessives that are not pronouns (Pollitt and Baker 216). Due to the many case errors in the essay “The Land That Is Ludville,” Stewart Pidd should learn to be more careful with possessives. If he is not more careful, then he will get a bad grade.
Pidd stumbles when punctuating a singular possessive noun ending in s: “Louis’ cruel nature” (2). Pidd omits the letter s from the possessive noun. The cruel nature belongs to Luis. The singular pronoun “Louis” ends in s. The rule for singular nouns ending in s is to use an apostrophe followed by an s at the end. To fix the error, Pidd must add an apostrophe followed by an s at the end of the noun. The corrected phrase will read, “Louis’s cruel nature.”
Pidd falters when punctuating singular possessive nouns not ending is s. He writes, “monkeys’ tragic death” (2). Pidd misplaces the apostrophe after the letter s. The singular noun “monkey” does not end in s. The rule for singular nouns not ending in s is to use an apostrophe followed by s at the end. To repair the error, Pidd must place the apostrophe before the s. The corrected phrase will read, “monkey’s tragic death.”
Pidd incorrectly punctuates a compound possessive: “Mr. Lud and Mrs. Lud’s lives” (2). Pidd makes an error after “Mr. Lud.” Two lives are lost. The rule for punctuating compound possessives that do not have joint possession is to use an apostrophe followed by an s at the end of each noun. To correct the errror, Pidd must add an apostrophe followed by an s at the end of “Mr. Lud.” The corrected phrase will read, “Mr. Lud’s and Mrs. Lud’s lives.”
Stewart Pidd’s essay, “The Land That is Ludville,” contains several case errors and shows that Pidd must pay more attention to the rules for using possessives. Pidd’s essay looks like it was written by his pet monkey.

Pidd also errs in punctuating possessive pronouns: “The outraged Fertilizer Workers’ Union decided the only sane response was to use it’s retirement fund to hire a gypsy to put a curse on Lud” (1). Pidd misplaces the apostrophe between the letters “t” and “s.” The retirement fund belongs to the fertilizer workers. Possessive pronouns indicate ownership and do not need an apostrophe. Pidd can fix the error by eliminating the apostrophe. The correct phrase will read, “The outraged Fertilizer Workers’ Union decided the only sane response was to use its retirement fund to hire a gypsy to put a curse on Lud.”
Pidd falter when he punctuates singular possessive nouns not ending in – s. Pidd writes, “… The monkeys’ tragic death” (2). Pidd misplaces the apostrophe after the letter “s.” The singular noun “monkey” does not end in-s. Singular nouns not ending in – s add an apostrophe s. Pidd can repair the error by placing the apostrophe between the letter “y” and “s.” The correct phrase will read, “… The monkey’s tragic death.”
Pid slips up when punctuating plural possessive nouns not ending in – s’. The error was “The couples’s infant child” ( 2 ). Pid misplaces the apostrofhe between then “s” and “s”. The child belongs to the couple. The plural noun couple does not end in – s. The rule for plural nouns not ending in – s is add an – s. to correct the error Pid should drop the “s” and add an – s. the corrected possessive noun phrase read, “The couple-s infant child”.
