Why can't people figure out apostrophe usage?
 
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. :winkwink:

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.
