Contractions are obvious and don't warrant covering. If you don't get those, you probably only got as far as the special ed class in your entire schooling career.
But possessives are admittedly tricky. Singular and plural ones always seem to trip people, and it's not terribly obvious when the latter is appropriate, especially in words ending with an s without modification anyway.

Not that this is anything more than a new way you've devised to waste my time with idiotic, purposefully employed shtick. Are you really resorting to *feigning* retardation in order to derive cheap kicks?

LOL if you think that "possessives are tricky", then I think you should get that A-level, and then we'll talk. Only Celtonegroidal retards have trouble with apostrophes.

I believe you meant GCSE, or even SAT.

I meant from a conventional point of view of what I've observed from the usage of others. I have not a lot of trouble with them.

2. A band-1 in Adv. Higher English so STFU.

OK since you're too dumb to understand,, mentally replace "Blackburn" with "Scotland".

It's not that I'm too dumb to understand, it's that you have the misapprehension in your thick skull that Scotland's a monoculture.

So you're claiming that Scotland has different systems of school testing based on geography?

Or did you just forget what you're meant to be talking about?

Or rather the academic results differ considerably based on district. Common knowledge to anyone who went outside of their basement regularly from ages 5-18.

You're confused, I wasn't talking about results but rather the name of the examinations.

I assumed becase you thought I grew up in shit (which I did, but it didn't stop me going to a semi-decent school) that I must've done poorly as a direct result.

In fairness, in any other circumstances I might've. My poor attitude to education isn't rooted in "sour grapes", I know from experience it's a waste of time. Even people who did well didn't genuinely learn anything deeply in the end.

Did you know that there are four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire? And though the holes were rather small, they had to count them all?
