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?!

Assessing the state of communication in the world today, the condition is not apostrophic but catastrophic.
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! It may not rate in the top ten most important things in life, but surely it's in the top 1,000!
Paul,

You have the wife's #. She does plan on starting a thread on "a wife's view of an audiophile husband" (me?). It will be a interesting read I am sure.

Now the tread reads differently when you remove the 5th. grade exam.
