NOT TO PEOPLE FIRST COMING HERE--This thread is NOT meant to slam people. There are many folks who don't know anything about grammar, and here is a place to ask questions or be corrected. PLEASE DO NOT ASSUME THAT PEOPLE ARE ATTACKING--that is NOT what is supposed to be happening here.

So, I've seen a lot of references to Rob being an apostrophe cop, and you all are aware of my GrammarForum. I guess if you've noticed the latter, then you can pretty much figure that I'm a big ole grammar snob. I have a lot of pet peeves about how people butcher language (sadly, I can only rant on English as I can't speak any other language). Anyway, I wanted to pass on these priceless gems for any of you who have not bothered (and why would you, really?) to read my longwindedness on my blog. If you have similar stories or comments, please share.
Instead of retyping, I offer the URLs to my blog. I know most of us don't like following links to pictures, but I figure if you are on the Off Topic forum, you're bored anyway, and so willing to do a little clickity-click.
