I know the apostrophe rules - although for years I spelt it 'apostophe', but I still make mistakes with it all the time when not concentrating. <BR/><BR/>So it's all about grammar-gate.

It just seems like apostrophes are something the majority of people can't do. If I thought it was one or two people instead of the whole country I never would have posted it. <BR/><BR/> My work is putting little red lines under the same mistakes repeated by the same people all day,I'm trained to have them jump out at me - so they do, every time.
