I highly recommend learning some of the basics of punctuation to pretty much every author. After all, spellcheck doesn't often point out those errors.
Today's error is all about the apostrophe. It's a little tiny mark on the screen, but oh, so important.
Here's what I found:
"Branding began as a simple solution for a person to differentiate his cattle from his neighbors."
It does make me wonder what the neighbors looked like, if they couldn't be recognized as non-bovine... And whether they were branding the neighbors or the cows.
Punctuation. It's important to your neighborliness.
