old man emu Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 It's a catastrophe for the apostrophe. Its abuse and misuse cries out "Me, too!" I call on all dedicated Grammar Police to be forever watchful for instances of attacks on its rightful place in the lingua franca of the World. English is the hypercentral language that holds the entire world language system together, and the apostrophe works twice as hard as any other punctuation mark to indicate either possession or contraction, depending on context. Here's one recent thread dealing with the overall topic of grammatical correctness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
