BWA HA HA HA!! I LOVE this!! Misplaced apostrophes DRIVE ME MAD!!! I’m a professor… whether I’m teaching logic, statistics, or psychology, I always find myself giving a lecture on apostrophes and directing them to helpful websites. I tell them that misplaced apostrophes are a hallmark of not paying attention in the 5th grade.

AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!

I was just talking to someone on Twitter about this. She recommended a blog post that was chock full of missing or unnecessary apostrophes. Fortunately she was writing about dialog, but still…

Hey, Debbie — did you put cameras in my house? That looks like me when I saw yet another “it’s” that should’ve been “its.” Thanks for the grin!

Oh, by the way — I didn’t choke anyone — just the print that I saw the offending word on! :)

Love it! I can sorta-maybe-kiiiinda see why the its/it’s distinction is hard for some people, but I just don’t get it when I see apostrophes in plurals.

[...] Comic: Misplaced Apostrophes: I cringe when I see stuff like this even though I remind myself that our fingers sometimes do its own thing. I love Debbie Ohi’s work. (P.S. Congrats to her winning two awards at SCBWI!) Goodness knows, I’ve tried drawing my own characters, but never liked the work. It’s not a picky thing, but the “I stink at drawing” thing. [...]
