There are occation's when our publication has error's — both in print and online — and we have some loyal reader's who occationally point them our to us. We alway's appreciate those who help keep us on our toe's. Having said that (or, to be more precise, having written that), let me expres's my concern about what I feel seem's to be a growing epidemic in the United State's — apostrophe abuse. That humble little piece of punctuation has undergone quite a beating lately. Apparently there are quite a few folk's who think that the proper way to make a word plural is to interject an apostrophe before the "s"/Phil Bridges, 2C Etc. More here.

Question: Are you skilled in the proper handling of an apostrophe?
