Michael Rosen: The Politics (and lies) of the Apostrophe (via irunfrombears)
I’m not as tied to the apostrophe as I am to the Oxford Comma, but damn.
My position is that the apostrophe is on the way out. It’s an inconsistent item anyway; it was invented by printers - not grammarians or linguists - and like a lot of other ‘rules’ of punctuation is modified by use. No bad thing.
