That’s a great way to remember the spelling of together. I haven’t heard of “to get her” before. Thanks for sharing!

Together is to get her! That ones always been tricky for me to spell. Sometimes when I use the word together there will be spaces!

Ah, I like explaining the apostrophe-s for a possessive noun by plugging in “his.” Thanks for sharing that tip, Carolyn.

Thanks for the itchy witch. My dyslectic daughter will appreciate that. A teacher once told my class ‘the boy’s hat’ is short for ‘the boy, his hat’. Then you can use it like a contraction. I use that all the time. Hope that helps someone.

@Sherri, That’s a good way to remember “a lot” versus “allot.” Nice!
