This is not bad advice, unlike a lot I have come across.

Apostrophecitis is worse than AIDS in SA!

Oh and then is the plural/singular crap like “all of our employees IS on strike”. This happens on national TV, radio… These are simple rules ppl! For fuck’s sake (with an apostrophe)!

Oh and there should probably be a comma after ‘concentration’ in the last sentence…

People who do not know how to use the proper punctuation REALLY grate my cheese! It puzzles me that something like the apostrophe still causes so much confusion for people. And for mistakes to be found on A CEREAL BOX, with text that has probably been approved by a number of people is outrageous!!!

Grammar Nazi indeed! Someone has to monitor cereal boxes! My pet hate is “your” instead of “you’re” . . .

Makes you wonder if it really is good for your kids or is that whole piece just made up by the guy in the copy room?

Well, I obviously considered that, but in this case if your read the sentence, the word ‘your’ hints at the singular – in my case I only have one corn flake eater. I think children’s would have been used for plural.

Would it be churlish to point out that you probably meant to put the apostrophe at the end of kids (as in kids’ energy – otherwise there would only be one kid…)?
