    I have concluded that there are people who mu'st genuinely believe that the apo'strophe is actually a part of the letter 'S. And thi's break's my heart 'so much. Truly a 'sad day for America''s education 'sy'stem.

        @thelastgherkin I didn't want to speak for anyone else lest I distribute blame unfairly.

              @scribus A local newspaper named it as Mad Apostrophe Disease, which is a delightful little acronym.

                @thelastgherkin Brilliant! I saw a children's grammar book which called it the "greedy apostrophe." Considered buying it for my office before I decided that I just didn't care about that job anymore.
