pattricia Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Mostly because people haven't a clue how to use them correctly. If I had a fiver for every inncorrectly used apostrophe I'd ever seen I could retire tomorrow and live on the proceeds. Sometimes people spell the word incorrectly wrongly as well.

Dozy Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Generally? Tony asked for suggestions for the lynch mob and womerry suggested apostrophe's. That's how I read it. ps. did you see what I did there? Yes - you stuck an unnecessary apostrophe in apostrophes!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Womerry2 Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Looks like the apostrophes have it. Which sign are we correcting first? No pitchforks required, by the way. Just pens and paint in a range of colours. Form an orderly mob, please. And let's all have a nice cup of tea afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoatwobbler Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 How about we lynch the people who want to start lynch mobs in the first place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sccsux Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I thought the "Incorrect use of the apostrophe?" was in reply to "Which problems shall be tackled first?". Yep. You forgot to capitalise "Wormerry" and you introduced an "r" into the users's name:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
