In case you're wondering, I'll include two examples to which I am referring:
1) "you guy's" (There are two things wrong there. What are they?)
2) "grouper" (Was the member of the 3rd SF Group actually a fish?)
Thanks for taking the class. Take a little more time with your posts. Perhaps composing offline in Word, using "Spellcheck", and then pasting it here would help. Failiing that, re-read your post and edit.
Welcome back.

1. That's plural possession so the apostrophe should actually be after the s, also its technically not necessary.
2. And I don't understand what's meant by the fish comment.
Scratch that, I now know that a grouper is a type of fish.

I like my grouper fried, baked, grilled, broiled, or blackened, with or without tartar or cocktail sauces.
Dammit you made me hungry!

Our current education system is wonderful for teaching youngsters how to be politically correct. Unfortunately, punctuation is dying a rapid death.

Grammar issues aside, what do you define as "hooking up"?

There's a fish joke here.
Taking cover.
