Grammar pet hate: the rogue apostrophe

[domino]

Mute rather than moot is a good one

 

[madasafish]

I',m loving it too. I'm coming over all fuddy duddy. 'Should of' instead of 'should have' is the one that makes me wriggle the most.

I always reckoned most of the posters' fuddy duddy postings were indicative of their instincts' baser drivers.

Mute rather than moot is a good one

Whether a swan is mute is a moot point..

 

[enrico]

How about split infitives or is it infintive's

 

[Hombre]

At least with infinity, there is more than enough to split, for everyone to have a slice.

 

[For want of a better word]

How about split infitives or is it infintive's

infinitives... presuming more than one infinitive ..
and that is a probability of <0.05 that there is more than one infinitive number

but remember that the infinitive's progression could be the square root of minus one ( the progression belonging to that one infinitive ) and there fore is not a real infinitive at all !!!

It's not rocket science... I am sure anyone who can keep bees can easily master the
apostrophe rules in the English language

No one can KEEP bees as they keep on swarming... and the apostrophe's rules in the English language make as much sense as the English spelling of :

right/write
sight/cite/site
bear/bare
base/bass
bay/bey
be/bee
beach/beech
beat /beet
pair/pear
boy/buoy
days/daze
beau/bow
billed/build
