Hyah! Apostrophe! Back!

Do you think that clicking on this blog over and over and over again might stop the gross misuse of the apostrophe? That the beast may be tamed?

I don't, but as the website says, "You are among friends.".

That is annoying, too. I also noticed this on an old story of yours dated

"Dim the lights, pour the Ambesol."
I assume you meant the OTC medication Anbesol.

Indeed I did. Given the amount of pain I was suffering I am surprised that I was only one letter of and didn't refer to it as "Oh shit! The pain, the pain!!!".

It's amazing how many hits I get for ambesol.

Keep proofing, there are plenty more typos to be found! Like while typing this comment, I discovered my Valentine's Day post title contains the word "Ballons" rather than "Balloons".

If my occasional misspellings nullify this post, I humbly withdraw it.
