Apostrophe Rage

Raging against the incorrect use of apostrophe’s in everyday life. And some awful spelling too. Send me your corkers! And yes, I know!

Oh dear @soupyferns

Oh dear

I wonder if an incorrectly-placed apostrophe might improve things for the viewer?

Does PMQ’S read better than PMQS?

My preference, even though there’s no rules on this, would be

PMQs

Grammatically correct and shows that the S isn’t an abbreviation?

Thoughts?

When you desperately want to include an apostrophe but aren’t sure if it is needed or not…. @love_prezzo

[Apostrophe Rage @apostrophe_rage]

Oh dear

[Apostrophe Rage @apostrophe_rage]

@SkyNews why is it always U.S. but UK? Doesn’t the United Kingdom get a full stop?

[Apostrophe Rage @apostrophe_rage]

Oh dear @love_prezzo what have you done?!?

[Apostrophe Rage @apostrophe_rage]

Hey @SkyNews Need to sort out your grammar. Was Mandelson asked (by someone else) or was it Mandelson that asked? Two completely different interpretations of the same sentence are possible here.

It is nearly that time of year…. Aaaggghhh……wrong twice in the same advert.

[Apostrophe Rage @apostrophe_rage]

Oh dear

[Apostrophe Rage @apostrophe_rage]

Hmm @SkyNews …

‘80s ✅
80s ✅ but less formal

80’s ❌ no way

Agree?

[Apostrophe Rage @apostrophe_rage]

No! @YorkshireCCC

[Apostrophe Rage @apostrophe_rage]

Struggling to see a context where an apostrophe is required here….unless I have missed something ?

[Apostrophe Rage @apostrophe_rage]

Hey @SkyNews why is it U.S. but not U.K. ???

[Apostrophe Rage @apostrophe_rage]

@RoystonTownFC It is Supporters’ not Supporter’s

@elonmusk What a disgrace from Trump. Zelenskyy handles himself with respect and dignity, completely unlike the rabble that he had to deal with yesterday.

I think I’ve drunk too much…

[Apostrophe Rage @apostrophe_rage]

@Cambs_CB It is still definitely scorers and not scorers’. No apostrophe is required.
