I disagree on using an apostrophe with numbers (“the 90s” is unambiguous, and perfectly logical and grammatical).

I disagree on using an apostrophe with numbers (“the 90s” is unambiguous, and perfectly logical and grammatical). But the rest of this chart is useful, assuming you already know what part of speech something is.

For a non-chart version that is, in my opinion, simpler, try my explanation at: http://csidemedia.com/wellpresentedms.

    Great flow chart, though I do wonder at the example of a name ending in s. I have never heard of the family name Robinsons. Poor example there, as the better one would have been Jones. For example.

    Yes, it could be clearer there.

    Maybe I should do my own one.
