| You can't have too many apostrophe's Rodman99999, what is it that I should seek help for? Please continue to enlighten me.As for you, in the passive-aggressive hostility you display over this discussion for real? Is there a mild personality disorder under the surface, perhaps? | |

| You can't have too many apostrophe's Wow, I read my original post and I guess it does sound a little snooty!I retract the part about passing grade-school English exams. I just want more people in general to understand the proper use of the apostrophe. It's just a good thing for all! ... | |
| You can't have too many apostrophe's Glory, can I have your wife's phone number?Doug, that was a pretty good pun. | |
| You can't have too many apostrophe's Commcat,Once again, I didn't complain about lack of punctuation.I spoke about incorrect punctuation and grammar, which takes more effort than none at all.Heck, if you don't understand basic grammar rules, there's no need to be greatly offended if ... | |
| You can't have too many apostrophe's Hi Rodman99999,You do understand the meaning of "might", right? :)As for the effect of grammar on comprehension, your insinuation that it makes *no* difference is clearly quite naive. I didn't imply that it makes text impossible to understand, or ... | |
| You can't have too many apostrophe's Glory, I know you're not quite serious, but you're missing the point. You pointed out typos, not grammatical errors, and in any case I want to know about mine (if I intentionally make any) so's I wont do allot anymore! | |
| You can't have too many apostrophe's It is very late and I have to run, but FWIW I never meant to berate or look down on anyone. The fact is, basic grammar rules are not that difficult and almost everyone good get it right with a little effort, and it would be easier if society itsel... | |

| You can't have too many apostrophe's I just realized that I AM pudgy. Sorry. | |
| You can't have too many apostrophe's I'm neither in my 50s, nor pudgy, nor a woman. :( | |
| You can't have too many apostrophe's I meant "guys". That was a typo."Guys". Definitely not "guy's".P.S. I've been holding this in a long time. | |
| You can't have too many apostrophe's And by the way, T_bone, your post was hilarious. :)What I'm lamenting here - and of course I was aware that few care - is that the standards of grammar are no doubt *slipping* in this country, and that's just really a shame. I don't mean this to s... | |
| You can't have too many apostrophe's No, it's not irrelevant. There are just a couple gray areas but plenty where the rules are completely clear - such as with plurals. Writing "arena's" when you mean "arenas" makes your writing quite awkward to read for somebody who understands the ... |
