Hell, in my opinion the South takes far too much flak for poor grammar.....a quick tour of New England (where I grew up) will soon diabuse you of any notions regarding superior Yankee dialect !

You are a GRAMMAR GOD! If your mission in life is not already to preserve the English tongue, it should be. Congratulations and thank you!

I noticed #7 too poly....how ironic...

#8 is also questionable as "everybody" is a singular subject (yes it's singular as in "every single body") and the posessive should be "with his or her grade" and not "with their own grade" (unless the grade was collective i.e. group project).
