I thought the secret was instead of giving 100% to music you need to give (yourself a tuba that is sized as) 150%

good, gud, gudder, and better don't actually mean much by themselves. You need a standard of comparison.
"gudder dan de udders" suggests itself.

If you haven't read it already, the book "Eats Shoots and Leaves" is a great book for the punctuation snobs of the world (including me).

Oh seriously, tell me about it. For me, the worst is using an apostrophe for plural words. Things like:

Tuba mouthpiece's for sale.

OR, even worse:

Tuba mouthpieces' for sale.

Make me absolutely crazy... You don't need an apostrophe!!

Maybe someone can make a JG Wentworth-like business for this.

Give us "one of your tubas (the better one)", and we'll give you "scale mastery".

It’s my 15% confiscated from my income for the last 40 years, and I want it NOW!!

Yeah, well, there isn't much hope that it will ever get better, but at any rate, for those who may care enough to think about it but have trouble remembering which way is right ... This is about a part of speech called "pronoun". He, you, etc., and particularly the possessive pronoun its. And their, and your ...

Take your sentence that has one of those possessive pronouns, say "my tuba has a kink in its bell." Or is it, "it's bell"? Well, to find out, swap in another pronoun, "his". "A kink in hi's bell" ... hm, that doesn't look right. How about "the bell is really his's"? Nope. There's no putting an apostrophe in there, with "his", and the point is, "its" is exactly the same. Same part of speech, same rules. Refer to "his", and err no more.

Of course this applies the very same to your and their.
