Tricky buggers, aren't they?

Only fool's think so.

I've given up worrying about what other people do with them, but I'll always try to get them right myself.

That's not an apostrophe issue. It's just the wrong word.

I'm guessing he knew that. He was educated in the 1960's I expect.

I believe it's requires an apostrophe when being short for it is but not when the meaning is possessive. So it's it's. Perhaps I'm wrong and its its. Tits on the other hand requires no apostrophe.

Now do I risk a whoosh?............ Yes, faint heart and all that 'They've just had a ceasefire with Israel' :-)

Apostrophes are very useful, as the people who send spam email and virus attachments 'from your bank' seem incapable of using them correctly, thus making them easy to spot!

I'll admit I'm a bit of a grammar and spelling nazi. Not silly individual mistakes, but it does irritate me when people obviously don't bother to try throughout a paragraph or throughout their life. I do get confused about putting apostrophes at the end of a word though.

My team's colour is red uses an ' instead of writing "My team, its colour is red". All my teams' colour is red is instead of writing "All my teams, their colour is red". Why not their colours are red? - even more confusing.
