In my first year of university, I had an English professor who went on a long rant about people using apostrophes incorrectly. They said they once had a student put an apostrophe in the word “as”, presumably because the s looked lonely. They said these are the people who are gonna be working at the grocery store, writing signs saying “apple’s 50% off”
Gah! That fucking apostrophe!!!
the weirdo’s apostrophe
almost as bad as the oxford comma
I, know right!
I learned about the Oxford comma from my parents, Ayn Rand and God.
It didn’t seem like it at the time but I had a very strange upbringing.
