End Apostrophe Abuse.
Nov. 1st, 2008 10:05 pmWe interrupt this regularly scheduled blog for a loud, headdesking bulletin.
Dear People On The Internet:
STOP ABUSING APOSTROPHES. PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY, THINK OF THE POOR APOSTROPHES.
Seriously, things like this make me weep openly. Well, for the other obvious reasons, yes, but still.
(and, to offer another view, here's another painful example:
I am a 6th generation bloodline witch and adore Vampire's. I have several children of the night visit me. Elegant, romantic, you may lose your very soul with just a glance into their eyes. I am at my very best in the darkness, under the moonlit sky, doing my rite's and ritual's along with my potion's and spell's handed down since the burning time's. I am searching for my soul mate who shall dance skyclad with me around the sacred fire under the star's. Wanna come play with the right witch? Cauldron is simmering. I am very political, I have become addicted to CNN, I also am a very proud member of the Michigan Militia Wolverine's as well as the Civil Protection Corps which I am the Commander. I work with Homeland Security and prepare citizen's in case of an attack both forigen and domestic. I have worked in Mental Health 22 years, I also am an Alch and Subs abuse counselor as well as an Ordained Pagan Minister. Please, become involved in your community, its up to you to make a stand and now is it.
Oh, my grammar skills. Ow.)
PLURAL WORDS DO NOT NEED APOSTROPHES. PROPER GRAMMAR SKILLS, LET ME SHOW YOU THEM. FOR FUCK'S SAKE. WHEN DID THIS BECOME A TREND? MAKE IT STOP, OH GODS, MAKE IT STOP. AAAAAARRRGGGHHH.
*gasp gasp breathe meditate calm*
Thank you. Carry on.
