Dare I point out that the apostrophe in guru's is incorrect? An apostrophe does NOT make a plural!

I see this SO often now, and it really bugs me! And what makes it even worse, is people will use it with one word to make a plural, then leave it out the next time they write a word that's plural.

I scored 97 percent on the test. I used to teach English, so I'd BETTER score high!

Sunsilver,,I tried it without the apostrophe and it didn't look right,,As I said spelling and grammar and not my specialties..Bottom line is you all knew exactly what I was trying to say..;)

Scored the same as Sunsilver.  Which one tripped you up, SS?  I flubbed the first part of the whom/who question. 

No worries, Ruger1...if you posted a link for a math test that went beyond basic arithmetic and beginner's algebra, my score would be dismal.

SS, here in the UK we call it the "Grocers apostrophe" :
