The misuse of apostrophes runs rampant in our fair country, and I have made the elimination of this societal woe the sole focus of the rest of my life. Check out this flowchart!
what happen when you talk too fast (and too often) and force evolve English by combining words to abbreviate. Combreviations are dogs, bred to be likable, useful, and friendly, while most words come out of the natural selection of English. Sure, they may not be the fittest, but damn if everyone doesn't love them.

ReplyDeleteWicked awesome. 'Round these here parts I could make a fortune corraling superfluous apostrophes and selling them if only there were a buyer...
ReplyDeleteNooooooo! Please don't make me lose my apostrophes!!! (But love the flowchart.)
