Nice stamp.
There's a store in my town that has a sign outside reading "Open Sunday's." I swear I'll never set foot in the place.

Sorry to be pedantic, but the phrase 'Oh, my God' has a comma in it.
Sorry, I overuse commas.

Apostrophes must survive, the world doesn't look as good without them!
P.S. Link to society doesn't work anymore. :/

'its' is a contraction, too. i hate it when people mis- punctuate contractions, it makes me an angry lady. is it possible there will be an extension of this wondrous stamp to include contractions? the 'its/it's' and 'your/you're' errors really annoy mee ; 3;
i go around with a pen in my bag in case i need to correct fly posters in my university. you'd be surprised how many greengrocer apostrophes lurk around on campus!

Haha! That's awesome!
So - I've always been confused. When you say the sentence "There's two n's in that word", does the apostrophe belong, or not? D:

Maria87 In reply to MissingHorcrux [2007-08-22 23:21:29 +0000 UTC]
No. The apostrophe is *never* used to indicate a plural.
And technically, it should be "There are two" not "There's (is) two"
If you want, to make it a bit clearer, I usually write "There are two 'n's in that word". Because those aren't apostrophes of course, they're inverted commas, quotation marks, whatever... it indicates the letter n rather than "ns" which could be confusing
Make sense?
Glad you like the stamp!!
