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?!

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 itself wouldn't let standards slip so badly.

Goodnight!

i ammore interested in facts and knowledge than opinions.
opinions are ok for friendly discourse, idle chatter, but they are mere speculations, being probably true and probably false.

facts and knowledge are more useful when serious decions are made.
