The apostrophe is probably the most misused punctuation mark there is. Sure, people are useless with semicolons and commas too, but that comes from a basic failure to understand their respective functions. I'll be talking about this in a future strip, but basically the apostrophe strip was the main reason I started CRGttEL in the first place.

I'm not the first cartoonist to get picky about apostrophes, either. Check out Bob's Quick Guide to the Apostrophe, You Idiots for an excellent example.
