'''''Dating Do's and Don'ts'''''<ref>Some [[prescriptive grammar]]ians today, such as [http://public.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/dos.html Paul Brians], would call this spelling incorrect, arguing that the [[apostrophe (mark)|apostrophe]] denotes a possessive; if the film were made today, the title would probably be ''Dating Dos and Don'ts''. However, "do's" is the more traditional spelling, and was the recommended spelling at the time the film was made. The [http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/do's Merriam-Webster web site] lists ''do's'' as an acceptable variant</ref> is a 1949 [[instructional film|instructional]] and [[Social guidance film|social guidance]] film designed for [[United States|American]] high schools, to teach [[adolescence|adolescents]] basic [[dating]] skills, produced by [[Coronet Instructional Films]]<ref>[https://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/779955/dating-dos-and-donts Turner Classic Movies]</ref> and directed by Gilbert Altschul with the assistance of [[Reuben Hill]], Research Professor of Family Life at the [[University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill|University of North Carolina]].
