A Conversation for The Black Hole

Misused apostrophes

Perhaps I should just be grateful for my education and my mother's experience as an English teacher. Undoubtedly it is wrong to judge another for what may simply be a typographical error. However, it is an inescapable truth that my life would be far more pleasant if I was not bombarded by the confusion of "your" and "you're", "its" and "it's", "whose" and "who's", and, by far the transgression that affects me most like fingernails on a blackboard, the addition of an unnecessary apostrophe when forming a plural noun.

Attempts at maintaining a simple SEP have failed so I humbly submit these punctuational mishaps for consideration as black hole candidates.

(In the extremely likely event that I have mangled the English language as used in this entry and, by doing so, have hit upon your own version of misused apostrophes, please let me know so that I may spare you and others like you in the future!)
