My teachers, a *very* long time ago.  8-)
A modern Collins dictionary.

I accept that modern usage probably tends towards omission
of the apostrophe in "our's" (but I'm ancient). The ones
which really do need remembering though are the first four
of those which I indicated.

The post was prompted by seeing rather too many of the wrong
ones in:
1) demon.homepages.authoring where people are presenting them-
   selves to the world, on their pages.
2) The uk.telecom(.mobile) groups where many of the people may
   well be applying for jobs or having to deal with businesses.

Just trying to help. First impressions *are* important.
