What is it with the Apostrophe and no one knowing how to use it? I see abuse all day long – from other blogs and message boards to professional signs, menus and company names. The Apostrophe S (’s) shows possesion or contraction, people, not multiples.
These are correct usage examples of the apostrophe:
- Sally’s tits.
- Billy’s balls.
- Paris Hilton’s jail cell.
These are not:
- Hot Dog’s.
- Martini’s.
- Sally’s tit’s.
If I see one more time on my local menu that they are serving “Cheese Blintz’s” I may have to kill somebody.
It drive’s me nut’s.
Anyway, I found a website today where someone else hates the Apostrophe Abuse as much as I do.

yeah, that’s a baddie, but I really, really hate the apparent incomprehension over the proper use of your and you’re, not to the ever popular its and it’s. I suppose to and too should get a mention. And as long as I’m in a hatin’ mood, let me just add “lol,” “partners in crime,” and the needless practice of adding “on the ground” when the talking heads/pundits are so earnestly reporting on some new disaster, war, etc….

never really notice that shit… mostly see the “quotes” a lot. Hate that. This dickwad at work sends out emails all the time with “lots” of this “shit”… ooooooooo I hate him. To top it off, he ends his crap-ass emails with yadda yadda… oh, excuse me… with “yadda yadda”
…so if you need assistance, feel free to email me yadda yadda.
DIE MOFO- DIE! I’m trying to hire someone to kill him in the parking lot
