Talking about the importance of apostrophes, is Valentines Day spelled with or without an apostrophe? :-)
Milijana: Excellent, and Valentine's Day is sometimes with and sometimes without an apostrophe--I realize I wasn't consistent;-) Technically, it's better to have the apostrophe.
Carole:#1--you need to add a phrase to the original independent clause; #s 2 and 3--good!
