People are getting used to texting and "tweeting" and writing quickly, so of course, they want to do without the apostrophe. BUT as you eloquently pointed out, apostrophes are EXTREMELY necessary to proper communication. So, in an attempt to save time, people are actually going to spend more time explaining/clarifying what they were trying to say!Lorenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17848249911635132594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5330190226764495766.post-15107952176731814412013-10-18T23:17:46.844-07:002013-10-18T23:17:46.844-07:00I think apostrophe usage will be eventually be use...I think apostrophe usage will be eventually be used as a form of elitism.<br /><br />Only the educated and rich will know how to properly use it.DWeihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01052727489537771147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5330190226764495766.post-52452782469120510222013-10-16T17:22:45.446-07:002013-10-16T17:22:45.446-07:00Hmm, was I the only one who initially thought thi...Hmm, was I the only one who initially thought this post was about you announcing a pregnancy??? (A blog called Missed Periods sounds like the appropriate venue for it)<br /><br />That aside, I guess dropping the apostrophe from the written language altogether would greatly assist those poor punctuation-challenged folk. But I cringe whenever anything gets dumb-downed. So I'm with you on this one. <br /><br /><br /><br />Jo-Ann Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18027989147411624378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5330190226764495766.post-34639981028288218832013-10-16T13:28:52.923-07:002013-10-16T13:28:52.923-07:00They who wish to abolish the apostrophe are missin...They who wish to abolish the apostrophe are missing the point.anthony stemkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15666462157746049139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5330190226764495766.post-70268399016412106442013-10-15T12:30:56.713-07:002013-10-15T12:30:56.713-07:00Oy!
