I'm putting together a Grammar Raiding Party
...I need several punctuation commandos to invade FR with me and liberate the apostrophes they are holding hostage, peppering them nonsensically throughout their wailing and gnashing of teeth over the day's events.

Who's'e with meee? :evilgrin:

6. Damn, Robb, that's a suicide mission
But I'm willing to take the chance, if only to save our English language so it can live to see another day...

7. Start tossing past perfect tenses from the barricades!
