You can't have too many apostrophe's

Can we talk about this? Is it possible? Or by bringing it up, will I be relegated to that category of individual so many love to hate, the dreadful "grammar n?zi"?

Does it drive anyone else nuts that it seems that more and more adults in this country could evidently not pass a 5th grade English exam?

And is the increasing proliferation of "grocers apostrophes" THE single most annoying element of the above?!

I choose to consider Ghosthouse and ignore the rest

I thought of Frank Zappa first thing when I read the title

If I have to spell and write in proper english I will never actually get an idea down on paper (as it were)

Philjolet,

Well, you did just fine in the post above.

And, yes, you do have to spell and write in proper English, from now forward, if I'm watching anyway.

In case I haven't made enough enemies with this thread yet, Zappa sucks ass.

(I actually didn't really mean that...)

I pretty much refuse to buy anything from an idiot who writes "the light's and meter's work". How can you NOT know the difference between possessives and plurals? Hey, even I can cut someone a little slack for it's and its, but NOT for simple plurals like lights and meters....givbe me a break!

Oh, and one more thing, how about people who don't know the difference between lose and loose. If peple don't start learnin' sumptin', I'm gonna' 'loose' my mind.
