Apostrophe catastrophe

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I think Mark should be put in detention with Tim for 2 weeks.

I'm taking lots on the first one to die in intense pain :)

in general, you only freakin use it to denote a missing letter or possession (genitive case) of an item DO NOT use it everytime there's and 's', and especially not for a non possessive plural!!!!

or bloody else.
Tell that to whoever referred to "Hail Mary's" recently. After reading that I started to wonder what it actually should be, "Hail Marys" or "Hail Maries", and then I just got confused...

Hmm, that wasn't a very impressive 250th posting damnit!
