Okay, it's too much. I can't take it anymore.
People everywhere are using an apostrophe, followed by an "s," for a simple plural word. It is POSSESSIVE!!! A word is missing like "is." It is not used to make a simple plural word!
How much of this have you seen lately?
A thread here is titled, "Do you have double or triple features dvd's?"
Huh? It's DVDs. Now, I'm not picking on that poster, because I see this type of thing everywhere!
I've seen "professional" bloggers use the 's inappropriately. I've seen it on signs in my school by supposedly educated people. I believe I even saw it in an advertisement one time.
Soon, it will somewhow descend into an appropriate use of the apostrophe. That idea makes me sorta nuts.
AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!
To be honest, I was hoping to use some quotes to support my rant, but now that I'm talking about it, I can't find the specific quotes. But you've all seen them, haven't you?
I've wanted to scream about this for some time now. Thank you.
