You know I do use apostrophes the way they are supposed to be used. That is not the only thing that seems to be dead on the site. Also the letters N, O, T. and certain numbers as well like THREE. I have recently had to go back in to my blogs, and comments and fix them.

I just wish the site would fix all the glitches once and for all as it would make the site more fun and the bloggers would blog more.

Do you use apostrophes correctly? Yes I do

How good is your grammar? I always got straight A's in English.

Are you a grammarhead? I don't know about grammar head, but I do know how to

use my grammar well.

This was a great read today, and I hope your Friday is a great start to your weekend..

Seduce the mind and see what a wonderful adventure the body will take you on..

Irritates the hell out of me that such a basic bit of punctuation as an apostrophe cannot be used here. Then what do expect of phone users. Some cannot be bothered to use any punctuation or even capital letters. Lazy Ignorant Git is the term that comes to mind.

If you see me in the real world, come say "Hi Justskin."

I always behave. Preferably not well.

Another use for it is as a single quote mark, which I tend to do when informally writing what someone else said. I suspect that kind of usage is only truly correct when it happens inside of double quotation marks. Perhaps this new glitch will break that bad habit on my part.

I’m from Texas. My grasp of the English language is amazing. My use is horrifying.

Have a great day! 💋

That's not the only thing broken; the 'em dash' — is busted as well. Bugs, bugs and MORE bugs. 🐛 🕸 🦟🕷️🪲🐝

My grammar is pretty good, but I can always use a sexy editor to check my work; I've placed an ad. 😶❗❗

The apostrophe is alive and well on my blog. I think the site picks on me last.

I have a pin on my purse that says, "I am silently judging your grammar." I think that answers your questions.

Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on the door forever!

As someone who had an English teacher for a mother, I try to get my apostrophes correct although sometimes I do struggle.

David Mitchell had a great rant on QI over the public's use of apostrophes especially when advertising - he thinks the printing companies know the correct use but they just make whatever the customer wanted knowing they'll get repeat business when someone points out the mistake.

Do other languages use the apostrophe as much as it is found in English? I know the French use it (in c'est for example), but is it as prevalent in German, Italian as it is in English?

I was tight with grammar and punctuation years ago. I have greatly relaxed now. I just don't sweat the small stuff. I can still pull out the uptight to write reports when needed

I think this is a budget decision, when seconding the work, you don't have to worry about language. I am usually adequate with grammar

Thanks Spunky! I was wondering where all the A were coming from in my post. Still trying figure out why some pics are post it side ways. And they are squashed in private messages. It has been amazing to watch one bug after another come to lite on this site over the 10 years. Lol

Come over to mine and check my grammar! [post 4424702]

I think I use apostrophes correctly. However, I always make sure to say it is (in my head) before I write it's though... its and it's can be confusing and if I'm using speech to text things can really get muddled up. Come on by when you can and bring your marking pen.

Do you use apostrophes correctly? - I hope so? but I can't be bothered to check anymore.
How good is your grammar? - My grammar passed away years ago.

Grammarhead? Basically yes.
But I share my knowledge of English with the translator, who sometimes translates poorly. Occasionally an apostrophe can get lost.
But I think my results are not that bad. In other blogs, entire words are often missing, not just the apostrophe.
One of TSdates.com's smallest problems ..
