Apostrophes!!!

[WinterKitchen]

Today I've seen someone talking about people named Evans as in Chris, and the name has been written Evan's, several times. Why would you think a name requires an apostrophe?

As an Italian-speaker, my pet hate was seeing "Panninni's" everywhere in the mid-2000s when hot sandwiches were a big deal.

Yes. I am frequently needing to correct autocorrect on this.

Autocorrect needs a written warning, it's not fit for purpose.

We missed a trick, surely this thread is about apostrophe’s?

Where I live a graffiti artist used to go around inserting apostrophes where needed. I wonder if he erased those that weren't required.

What makes you think it was a he?

@NormaSears someone told me they had seen him at work. I guess they might have been wrong on their assessment as it was dark.

Thank's

Yesterday, on the BBC news, their headline at the bottom of the screen read "Jeff Bezo's Wedding".
Perhaps they could have written "Bezo's's"?.

Me to. Especially multiple exclamation marks! 😉

Me to what?

To me, to you.

Because BBC radio went out with him on one of his ‘night raids’. He said he was a ‘family man who worked in engineering’.

😂😂😂😂

A deli in town had ‘panini’s’ on their blackboard. It irritated me so much that I eventually went in and told them the plural of panino is panini, no S required, and certainly no apostrophe.

I've just seen Boy George's response to JK Rowling "Say's the botox ridden witch? Get on your broomstick". That apostrophe has merely confirmed that I was correct in my original opinion.

Indeed. What a charmer.

There's a post up just now which mentions tree's. A couple of times. Tree's have been cut down.

Please, someone, make it stop...

I read a post a few days ago. It included about five plurals. Four were correct and one had an unnecessary apostrophe. We're not supposed to correct but I had a little longing to send a private message to ask what it was that caused the poster to put one there.

(Sorry, not an apostrophe, but it's not worth starting a new thread for - I saw 'hunni' the other day.)

It might have been autocorrect. I believe its existence is solely to sabotage my ability to write coherently. It appears to have decided thry is more likely than they as just one example.

Im pretty sure I met Christma at DS class party but not Xma.
