Apostroplease

Let's talk about grammar! You all probably know by now that my brother is addicted to commas. But some of y'all out there are addicted to apostrophes, the commas of the sky. Look. I get it. I'm not perfect. I'm frighteningly close - but not perfect.

Like everyone else I have my flaws. I will never be able to spell the word acomodation accomodation acommodation acommadation accomadation accommadation acommodation accommodation right on the first try. Or even the third try. I question everything each time I have to use quotations and I would rather rewrite an entire paragraph than learn how to properly use a semicolon.

What can I say, you're in good company. I think the reason apostrophe errors bother me so much is because we have been learning about them since elementary school. It's like your/you're. If you misuse fewer/less or incorrectly hyphenate some adjectives, that's fine. We all have more important things to do than run every post past the AP Stylebook. But I feel like we should have apostrophes down by now.

So I created this video that explains some of the more common apostrophe errors that I see on social media. Use code WGW to get a free one-lifetime subscription to Grammarly.
