Hate to be THAT guy, but I feel like this is necessary at this point.


This whole rant comes from a conversation I saw on a server recently. Here is a recreation of the scenario; bear in mind that these are not direct quotes, but do however closely represent what was said:



Person A: i want to write some stories for class but i'm too lazy

Person A: hold on, is it "stories" or "story's"?

Person B: story's looks right

Person C: yeah i don't think there's an ies

Person D: no, story's is right



Here's a run-down on the uses of apostrophes, just in case anyone truly needs it.




Apostrophes are used to:
-create contractions (ex. don't, isn't, can't)
-give possession (ex. Sheila's toy, Benny's book)


Apostrophes are NOT used to:
-make a word plural (ex. story's, thing's)
-EXCEPTIONS: -singular letters (A's, B's, and C's)






Honestly, I really hope this helps someone understand apostrophes better. Take care! <3

By gosh! I freaking agree with this blog! I may be somewhat of a grammar nut, but sometimes people need to learn how to spell. In a world filled with autocorrecting tech, people need to realize that some things don't have autocorrect, and with you being exposed with this makes you sound like a moron. I'm glad you brought this up, and I think you deserve a diamond. Good freaking job! :3
