You grammar snobs out there will love this article about the apostrophe catastrophe.

About Me
- Melanie @ This Ain't New York
- Born and raised in Georgia, I love the South. Now I live in the Florida panhandle, fondly known as the Redneck Riveria, with my husband, daughter, and crazy mutt of a dog. I love Jesus,my family, the smell of rain on the hot pavement, rocky road ice cream, and the softness of kitten paws.

I forwarded this on to my almost-editor and anglophile daughter.
Oh my, why bother to send our children to school. They can just speak or write any way that they prefer. I agree that it was most definitely a math major. You see the mess we are in today because of all the mathmaticians on Wall Street. Should I put an apostrophe on mathmaticians? Do they posess anything or are they plural? Hmmm...
Just stopping by to thank you for your comment yesterday on my post at Rocks in My Dryer. I truly appreciate your encouragement.
Apostrophes rock! Whomever it is pushing to dump 'em probably doesn't know how to use 'em right, yeah?
Ah-ha! I was trying and trying to remember where I saw this so I could credit you in tomorrow's post!
