CHAT: Apostrophe

After reading somebody's blog that had a simple punctuation error in the title.

----

me:
Seriously, man, somebody needs to tell her, politely, how to pluralize.

Jill:
Yeah. She is a sweet girl but not the brightest.

me:
Sometimes I feel I was the only one paying attention in grammar school.

Jill:
Not the only one but not nearly enough were.

me:
If she absolutely insists on using an apostrophe, she should rename her blog to [NAME WITHHELD]. That would be fine.
GRRR.

Jill:
Deep breaths.

me:
I just get really upset by simple mistakes that are due entirely to laziness. It's not like it's THAT difficult to learn the rules of the apostrophe. It's a pretty straight-forward piece of punctuation.

Jill:
Actually, it has a bendy in it.

me:
I will destroy you.

Jill:
You wish.
