night's like this.

Maybe the posters ought to refrain from posting unnecessary apostrophes when pluralizing nouns, and when saying (or thinking they are saying) "its", "your", "there", or "their".

As a test, see how the response slows down when I type the following:

it's you're they're night's

But NO, forget it, that would require a literacy test and for so many here English appears to be a non-native language.

Yeah, let’s focus on a misplaced apostrophe instead of FR’s miserable history when it comes to events like this.

........maybe it would help the discourse if you hacked up a period, question mark or exclamation point you mangy, flea infested feline.

You reek of Stephanie Cutter's .........

Blame a video instead of a policy, blame a misplaced punctuation mark instead of a lacking web site.

Are you sure you're not a stinkin' rat instead of a flea infested cat?

Since you are intent on taking up bandwidth with things grammatical, let's address the misuse of quotation marks with commas and periods.

Perhaps a review of using commas in a series would be helpful as well.
