English Teaching Certifications

Call me a stickler for old-fashioned dogma, but any organisation purporting to train English teachers should know how to use apostophes on its website:

"Things that might also be on the prohibited list are insulin needles, birth control pills, and in the Middle East, movies and DVD's. "

I should probably get a life...

Digital video discs (or "disks" if you prefer, I believe both are correct) does not have an apostrophe in it, so DVDs shouldn't either.
