Do you use an apostrophe when pluralizing a date correctly? Is it in the 1960s (plural) or 1960's clothing (1960 possessive) or 1960s' clothing (1960-1969 plural possessive)? A humorous poem filled with typographical errors and other nonsense, as in Dummy's for dummies. A dummy's guide to punctuation for dummies:
Plural's possessives,
extra added to Ss,
where did that apostrophy go?
Pages and pages of typeo, tpyo, or typo...
before after an o?
Its punctual elation
overused in erroneous abbreviations,
and trophys vacation's
(no awards if you notice
but perhaps less pleasing to read).
If your filled with greed
copyright apostrophies',
inserted between s and a zero?

Post a CommentI'm pretty good with apostrophes. I only misuse them (on purpose) when engaging in genealogy on mailing lists.
I often still (mistakenly but automatically) insert an apostrophe to represent the letter "i" in a misinformed contracted attempt like David's older... intending what I should have said, "David is older." Possession is the ket.... David's many years ...
Very witty! cheers :)
