Yes that's certainly needed here :)

Should people take that test before posting?

Hahaha...

Yes...

I wonder what I missed...



Well done!
You have 90 % apostrophy awareness!

you didn't quite make it to the top 10 per cent, but you came pretty damn close! You have a good command of the apostrophe, and you understand how to use it - well, most of the time, anyway. There were a few pretty damn tricky questions in there, however (and yes, we're proud of it. So proud, in fact, that we're talking in plurals, although there is only one of me. Confusing? Oh, but yes, and that's another thing I am proud of). You have probably read Lynne Truss' book "Eat Shoots and Leaves", haven't you? if not, and you want the last few questions right as well - have a look at it some time!



:D
