Why can't people figure out apostrophe usage? - GoFuckYourself.com

Lately I've seen this on GFY: wan't. WTF? And it's not just that word. GFYers just can't seem to ever get it right.

Listen, a plural requires no apostrophe. Boys. Girls. CDs, DVDs, moms and dads.

It's possessive. GET IT?

Mom's friend. The boy's jacket.

WHY IS THIS SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND?

p.s. They + Are = They're.

p.s.s. "To" is not interchangeable with "too." If you don't know the difference between the two by this age, kill yourself.

It's PPS for post postscript, not P.S.S.

You forgot to mention the "your" or "you're" thing. Those words aren't interchangeable either. Neither are there, they're and their. I see some seemingly intelligent people making these retarded mistakes a lot. People who take the time to correct your stupidity (or apathy) are trying to do you a favor.

Be'cause.
