Today is International Apostrophe Day!

Im busy peeling potatoe's and watering my tomatoe's

I agree about semicolon's; I u'se them all the time. Long live the s'emicolon¡¡

May I join, obviously ...?

Sorry grandtante to hear your news. Grumppa - may I join your Society for the Protection of the Semi Colon. This is an endangered punctuation mark and will require care to ensure that it does not become extinct.

So sorry to read your news grandtante. I hope treatment is possible. 💐

Thank you for the reminder, grandtanteJE65, that today is a national holiday in France. I remember being surprised and delighted when I found out, aged 16, in Paris.

Unfortunately, I could not read the newspaper link, and I do need a good laugh today, as we were told yesterday that DH has cancer.

And here was I thinking that today was the feast of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary!

Not a single apostrophe in five lines of text, nor should there have been, but five line's of text' would 'ave been possible. I suppose! (And that full-stop was misplaced on purpose. Why should apostrophe's have all the fun?)

My local garden centre has fresh loaf’s on sale!

Im sorry, ive lost all my apostrophe's apart from thi's one or two

You missed a couple of good opportunities to insert rogue apostrophe’s there grumppa.

Expect a snowstorm of flying tadpole's.

Wonderful news! As one of the three founder members of the Semi-Colon Club (in a bar near Liverpool Street Station in about 1970) I salute it.

Im so glad its got it’s own special day.
