Punctuation mistakes you DON'T want to make

If you've been recently released from prison, it's OK to say:

"It's kinda sad leaving my inmates behind."

What you DON'T want to say is:

"It's kinda sad leaving my inmate's behind".

Any others come to mind?

"lets eat grandma." instead of "lets eat, Grandma."

Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.

Not sure I want to know what an inmate's "benind" is.

I don't knead that in my life.

Since the topic of this thread is punctuation ... "Let's" is the word you want. It's a contraction of let us.

Lettuce spray, said the pest control team leader.

But we're spraying tomatos, said the team.

a misplaced comma once saved my bacon..
the article 15 was hard..
I was losing some stripes..
the comma turned same into a suspended bust..
that was not the intent..
but..JAG sided with me..
and my Cdr told the guy who was flippin his lid..
pay attention next time...

You are very lucky as the Cdr could reconvene the mast, pull from the record and all you could have done was refuse and go to courts martial. You can change the admin record, not the criminal one. But seems that everything turned out GREAT.
