Why do so many Americans put a useless apostrophe before a plural S? It’s charts not chart’s. It’s curtains not curtain’s. What is wrong with ya’ll. Get it together. 😩

My friend and I send xmas cards to each other w the return address w an apostrophe (the Donohue’s) followed by “WHAT?” PET PEEVE. The Donohue’s WHAT? What is it they are possessing?!?!?!? It allows us to rage between ourselves.

They also mess up decades.

The years between 1990 and 1999 are the ’90s not the 90’s. The apostrophe is used to replace the *19.*

Temperatures have no apostrophe at all. A hot day is in the 90s. Not the 90’s.

Offended as I am by your butchery of “y’all,” I offer you a simple explanation to your gripe: it’s auto-correct. No, really. Half the time I even use apostrophes, it’s because autocorrect wants me to. Autocorrect also really hates the word “its.” It just won’t let “its” exist peacefully. It’s quite exhausting how “it’s” is ok but “its” isn’t.

Case in point: it’s painful how many times I had to retype something in the above paragraph because autocorrect went after it.

Thinking of moving out of Manhattan. I’m a native New Yorker, but longing for some real outdoor space and to get a car again.

Welcome all suggestions on neighborhoods ppl love that are still commutable. Yes, I’d love a brownstone in Park Slope, but totally out of budget. Looking for something around 750k or less that checks all the boxes.
