"I’ve always had a problem with #6. I understand the use of the apostrophe for the contraction of “it is” - but the non-use of it when dealing with possession has always puzzled me."

We live in a post literate culture. Most business owners, employers and potential clients can’t/won’t write any better than the average putz. The age when people of any consequence actually care enough about grammar to hinge job offers or business deals on “The Elements of Style” is long past....

A possessive will ALWAYS have anapostrophe, it’s the plurals that never do.

Pet peeve: Just about everyone on the in r internet writes “Let me give you my “advise” rather than “advice”. I think this is stupid. Can’t figure out where it came from.
