I forget who all the people are who are bothered by apostrophe abuse. I know I'm one of them. I'm an apostrophe snob. So....have a chuckle at this web site folks.

Yeah, but I think they've got some inappropriate capitalization usage on some of those pages. They capitalize Apostrophe all over the place.

amusing.:) it doesn't bother me, though, when i see people make mistakes because i've been making mistakes myself lately due to carelessly dashing off replies without proofreading..i recently looked back on a post i submitted right after i posted it and saw that i'd written your instead of you're..of course i know the difference but i just cringed when i saw that, and hoped people wouldn't think I didn't know the proper usage..from now on i'm definitely going to make a subsequent post correcting myself so people know that i know the difference..:) and maybe start proofreading my work so i don't irritate others with my mistakes..:)amy :)

hi again, emme!:)
i just looked back on my post to you..it didn't really come out right, i don't think..it looks like i'm offended or something, and i'm not. not sure how it came across..ahhh! i also didn't take the time to put some emotional context into my post. sometimes i wish we could add tone of voice to these posts, or something. i saw your post as a good opportunity to clear up my error..sorry if it sounded rude or something. i hope it didn't. :) just making sure..;)take care! :-)
