I sent in a press release on behalf of a local organisation, which they have printed word for word as I knew they would because they are lazy sods - except that they have inserted two apostrophes where nobody but a complete fool could think an apostrophe necessary. And, what is worse, everyone who knows I wrote it will think I am the one who doesn't know my apostrophe from my elbow.
Deep breath. Rant over. As you were.

Was it who'se? Or they're's?

or say's?

No it was after the plural of a noun. Say dogs was changed to dogs'. Although that wasn't the word.
