Apostrophe (forum)

MaryT starts with ...
A strange growth has sprouted amongst members' Edibles. Found between 'love' and the letter 's' , this parasite is sticking out like a sore thumb and must be removed instantly. I would do it myself as MaryT LOVES growing, she LOVE'S NOT. Alas I do not have the power to change the format

I'm with you o'n apostrophe's . Worse still is the use of 'less' instead 'few' as in " I have less apples this season". Imagine "never in history have so many owed so much to so less"

You're killing me. Blame it on the nuns; I've had so much English grammar beaten into me that I now want to beat up anyone who break the rules. Just kidding; I don't mind what anyone else does, I just don't want it to appear on my edible page :) The Sisters might see it and come after me from their graves.

English language has been evolving for the past few hundred years.
Better or worse.
