However, it seemed that something was needed to set off that phrase. Likewise, I added a comma after the initial "yes" and changed the word "us" to "we." Lots of folks don’t like hyphens.

Several women do not share one single handbag. Instead, the women have handbags among them. Just wondering. It still seems that handbag ought to be handbags.

I've changed punctuation and one word. This is the way I would have written it; what am I doing wrong? Thanks, teacher! How about this:

I’ve changed punctuation and one word. This is the way I would have written it; what am I doing wrong?

Thanks, teacher!

Here are the two sentences: "It has come to my attention and if recent history is anything of a guide, a lot of the people who are snapping up BlackBerrys tend to put them into their handbag. Yes us women a lot of my fellow colleague teachers are using them as they are a very practical way to schedule our classes, keep in contact with other teachers and students." I'd like some guidance. Why isn't the word "handbag" made plural in this instance? The second sentence seems to be missing punctuation. Is it not? I'm just curious and wondering about the rules.
