Apostrophe Abuse

I cannot begin to tell you how much my family would love this site.

Maybe it would make them squirm in their seats?
Maybe it would make them laugh?
Maybe it would just be too painful to see so much abuse.

Whatever it would do, this is a great site.

I am so guilty of the apostrophe abuse.

I sent my grandparents a card & my grandmother called me to tell me that I had either placed the apostrophe in the wrong place or didn't use one (I can't remember.) At this moment I am thinking that I must have used the apostrophe. However, at the time, I couldn't remember how I wrote out the card and what exactly I did that was wrong - so from that point on I no longer wrote out...

To: The Wrights (Wright's) because I didn't know which one was correct

I would instead say

To: The Wright Family

That got me past the whole apostrophe thing. It is now standard practice on all Christmas card corespondence.

I think I may get a crash course in the proper use of apostrophes after looking through that site.

Enjoy!
