How to use an apostrophe
Attention writers and those who fancy themselves to be writers! In case you hadn’t heard, the English language is full of ridiculous rules and exceptions to those rules. But some things just make you look like you don’t know what you’re doing.
One of those things is the proper (or improper) use of the apostrophe. It’s pretty simple to get down, and apostrophe.me is here to help. They pretty much cover everything so I won’t repeat it here.
Also, if you want to be a writer, I’m only two weeks late telling you that November is National Novel Writing Month. No, I’m not writing a novel. Yes, I do know a few people who are trying. Even if you start late, it’d be good practice. It’s not like you have to publish your work. The point is to do something.
Of course, I’m not one to talk. My writing has clearly dropped off lately due to busyness. I swear, I’ll catch up somehow.
And so I will finish here, on an entirely different topic than the one I started with. Happy Friday the 13th!

My favorite apostrophe atrocity (LOL) are the it’s/its mistakes. Those are EVERYWHERE.
