Please, people, stop with the random apostrophes. Is it just me, or are apostrophes just running more and more rampant - not just in fic, but everywhere? Apostrophes aren't for fun. They serve a practical purpose, though you wouldn't know it. I think they're quickly becoming one of the most abused punctuation marks around.

Poor little apostrophe's. No one seem's to know what to do with them, so they get stuck in some mighty strange pla'ces.

Have you ever read Eats, Shoots and Leaves? I think you would relaly appreciate the section on the Apostrophe Preservation Society (which actually exists *grin*).

Oh, yeah, I'm always amazed where I see them! I do have a tendency to just randomly drop them in when I'm typing, not sure why. So I'm always extra careful when I'm rereading, but I'm sure I don't get them all!
