Connoisseur here is plural, right? not possessive? Thus, delete the apostrophe? Just a friendly critique.

I thank you very much for the piece of advise. I wondered as I wrote the word if it should be or not. So that settles it.

That's the first thing I noticed too, the apostrophe is not required in a plural word. Why do people always do that? Especially those who profess to eb writers? Or should I say, "writer's?" Just poking fun at a common error, no harm intended.

I would never claim to be an expert at the mechanics of grammer.But I am working on it. Any help is always appreciated.

When I finally send my manuscripts in, Perhaps those rejection letters will hurt less after reading your inspirational piece. BJ
