Grammatically Puzzling for English Teachers around the US
Andre’ Woodson, Kentucky – Grammatically, the apostrophe at the end of Andre’ Woodson’s name means he owns everything. That’s sure to boost the ego a little bit. Growing up, he may have had a few problems sharing with the other kids. Maybe he should read Little T Learns to Share.
Co-Eric Riley, Mississippi State – When Co-Eric was growing up, how did any teacher explain to him that he wasn't his own man? He isn’t just Eric; Co-Eric has to share his name with another lost soul. Co-Eric won't be his own man until he finds that other Co-Eric. And until that day, Mississippi State will forever be damned.
Sen'Derrick Marks, Auburn – Okay, it's one thing to start putting prefixes like De- or La- before a person’s name. It might even be cool to put a D’ every now and then. But how in the world do you explain adding Sen’, Al’, Cha’, or Syd’?!
This isn't how the apostrophe was intended to be used…
Al’Darius Thompson, Oklahoma State
Syd’Quan Thompson, Cal
Cha’pelle Brown, Colorado
Sa’Coby Carter, Middle Tennessee State
