Has anyone else noticed lot's of unnecessary apostrophe's on the forum's lately?

I think its really irritating, so I thought I'd be a jerk and start this thread, dedicated to superfluous apostrophe's.

Thank's!

Paizo Employee (PostMonster General)

I "vote" this thread include grocer's' quotes "too".


I'm "not really" sure what you "mean" by "that", Gary.

Spoiler:
Too much?

Eh, you forgot to put a necessary apostrophe there...

(Boldface added by me)


Generic Villain, you win the prize!

That was intentional.

I personally have trouble with the its/it's thing, I'm recovering, though.

When I typed out the OP, I was going to type "it's" correctly, but I thought I'd try leaving it out to see who noticed.

You, sir, are a grammar hero.

Based on what I've seen, it seems that second "o" is unnecessary...

Heh, nice. What can I say, I like me some grammar. Alas, with the advent of instant messaging/texting, the upcoming generation can barely spell apostrophe, much less know how to use it. LOL!


Not all of us are English majors or even went to college. If you want to help someone learn the correct way to do something then by all means help by posting a helpful correction, but I find it grating that something like grammar knowledge makes some people feel superior to others. I also find it offensive to make some posters feel like they need perfect English knowledge in order to post upon these boards.
Knowledge is power, abuse of knowledge is abuse of power. Hop off the high-horse and help out instead of attacking people who may not know better.


Just trying to raise awareness!

I'm not without sin.

(PS I don't think anyone was attacked)

(PPS I have a GED)

Calm down, Fakey. You dont need to have gone to HIGH SCHOOL, let alone college, to know the basic's of grammar an speling. Its ju'st common sense.

I mean thi's isnt a chatroom I dont see why people feel they need to hurry and ignor decent typin. it wouldnt hurt nbody an it keep's u frm gettin teh bad habit's.
I just upped the ante.

Greg? Greg Young? I fail to see the correlation.

Tuvok?

I know no one will respect me for admitting it, but I miss ol' Tuvok.
