My boss does this. Not everywhere but wherever there is a word ending with an ‘s’.
And now I just read an amazon review where someone’s done it.
GRR!!
This is a really pathetic rant. Please let it fall from the first page quickly.
Thank’s for listening.
Preach it brother!
Thi’s subject ha’s been covered several time’s in the last few month’s.

Pain is having better spelling, grammar and overall language skills than those who employ you.
BLUSH I’ve just begun whacking my own hand so I quit doing this. Don’t know when I started such a bad habit, but I’m stopping it. It’s got some momentum up though so, it’s going to be a bit to “unlearn” it.

I hope that wasn’t a book review… talk about damning with faint praise.
I can’t put this book down!
No, my fingers are sticky from the peanut buter and marmalade sandwich I just ate.
Calvin and Hobbes, btw…

Oh man, don’t start making me speak Klingon:
“T’kach do’whee L’o Qu’o’nos. Ch’o’whee toros’h cho’beh!”

Now that you have the measurements for Playboy’s ‘Klingon of the Month’. . .
I thought the Manx language was all apostrophies, the numbers 7 and 131, and the letters X or an upsidedown W (which some people mistake for an M).
‘Apostrophe’ has no ‘i’ in it. Just thought you’d like to know…
You know what apostrophe REALLY bugs me? The one on the “Check Into Cash” commercials (sing: “We’ll cash your personal check and then we’ll hold it til your payday!”) The big splash screen asks:
gotta’ Money MAYDAY?
gotta’??? GOTTA’???
Has anyone told them this makes absolutely NO SENSE???
Gotta’ literacy mayday, if you ask me.
Where’s our Dragonriders of Pern fanatics to justify their honorific T and K apostrophed names?
Peace, - K’moriah.
My favorite misuse of the apostrophe was at the school where I was previously employed. They now call Special Ed support “Resource Room,” and that department had a suite of rooms devoted to it. There was a big sign outside that said
RESOURCE ROOM’S
I had to walk by it every day with a straight face.
Just pencil in the word SIGN under RESOURCE ROOM’S and you’ll feel better.
Nah, Skeezix, I couldn’t do that… it’d ruin the irony, which I lived for in that godforsaken hellhole.
Since this is a grammar nitpick thread, I feel the need to point out that your sentence should actually read “Where are our Dragonriders of Pern fanatics to jusify their honorific T and K apostrophed names?”. “Where is our fanatics” makes no sense, due to some rule that has slipped my mind.
Ooh, I loved Fantastics.
A cool play, even if it was a tourist trap.
I would like this thread to use as a confessional.
I am deeply addicted to brackets ( ), commas, and elipses (though more then just the three more like…)
Shoot me I am a bad punctuation junkie.
