Nonsensical Apostrophising

There is no apostrophe in always

I swear to Jeebus, I am sick and tired of people indiscriminately apostrophizing words! If I see another bee’s, go’s, alway’s, our’s (I’m talking to you, MG Siegler at TechCrunch) or stop’s, I’m going to scream!!!

Tip: Unless you mean to write the possessive form of a noun, just err on the side of caution and leave out the damned apostrophe. If you write like the examples above, you’re probably incapable of comprehending the rules that govern apostrophe usage.

Please refer to Number 17 on the “Everything You Need to Know about Grammar” page.
