Apostrophe Misuse Alert
I've noticed lately that the misuse of apostrophes is rampant throughout the web, so I've decided to launch a campaign to stamp out apostrophe illiteracy.
Here is the condensed version of how the apostrophe should be used:
1) In contractions. Example: "It's" is short for "It is".
2) In possessives. Example: "Dale's house", or "The Robinsons' house". Exception: "Its" is the possessive of "it".
3) APOSTROPHES ARE NEVER USED TO DENOTE PLURALS!
