Where Did All the Dots Go?

Tip of the Day: When making copies of documents for your students to read, make sure the documents have the dots over their lower-case is. It might not seem like a big deal, but when you’re reading pages upon pages of documents with all the dots over the is missing, it gets really annoying.

Where did all the dots on the is go?

(Before you go to email me about how it’s supposed to be i’s and not is, think about what an apostrophe means. An apostrophe is used for contractions and to show possession. There isn’t a letter missing between the i and the s, and nothing is owned by the i. Instead, it’s a plural, which means an s is attached without an apostrophe.)

(Yes, I’ve been blogging for so long that I can predict all your reactions to my blog posts.)
