PataQ · 05-01-2003, 11:09 PM

Back in my day Grammar was a seperate subject to English!

Atleast we knew what an apostrophe was in those days... today I see an apostrophe before every S. It sickens me to be quite frank...

"2 day's ago..."
"more bathroom's upstair's" (this one isnt made up, I saw it at a local hardware/bathroom/kitchen store *sigh* )

I see if more and more often everyday, do they just not teach it now???

I mean Christ! Why do people do it?? Are they taught to put an apostrophe before every S in sight??

Please could somebody englighten me on this...
