grammar and punctuation, then I guess you would not be allowed to post Joe. After all, the apostrophe in the word one’s indicates the possessive, as in belonging to someone or something. This could be used to describe one’s grammar mistakes. The apostrophe is also used as a contraction of two words which you mastered when and you used don’t instead of do not. and It’s instead of it is. One’s should not be used to describe multiple entities.
While we are at it. “it’s all the same” is a new sentence.
Therefore there should be a period after 1,i,j,l and it ‘s should have been
capitalized as the beginning of a new sentence.
