Commonly Confused Environmental Science Students

Tam shared with me this title from a report written by a fellow student in her environmental science class:

"Denver Traffic and it's affects on the Environment"

This is a pretty impressive one, worthy of my hometown newspaper. Of course, the author neglected to place a comma between "Traffic" and "and," but a solid effort nonetheless. (And extra points for the lower-case "affects.")

I am almost sad that my dad is no longer teaching middle school English and will not be able to present this brilliant example to his students.

"it's" should not have the apostrophe. Also, affects is improperly used here. It should be effects.
