    Thank you. And I apologize for using "impune" incorrectly. I meant "impugn". I know you know that, but it bugs me!

    I never, ever publicly correct someone else's grammar. I view that as worse than the original grammatical sin. Unless it's Clem, cause then it's funny.

    I do, because I teach 7th grade and these people are linguistic cretins.

    Seeking advice: I'm a 56 yo male, single and dating. I'm an attorney and graduated from Duke so fairly well educated (IMO). I was texting with a woman referred by a friend last night. She added an apostrophe to every word that ended in an "s" regardless of whether it was plural or possessive (as in, "I'm having dinner with my son's over the weekend" or, when describing her work, "I do lot's of wedding parties"). Dealbreaker?

    I admit I used to be a member of a local apostrophe militia, and we were known for taking action.

    If it's a phone text, chalk it up to autocorrect. Once you've met her, you can decide if it's autocorrect or not. At that point, it's up to you. Can you stand getting note's/email's/text's that contain that contain that many apostrophe's? For how long?

    For me, personally? Probably a dealbreaker.

    Sounds like you're worried that she may be the possessive type.

    I’m the last person to pass judgement on grammar.
    Since you said it happens every time, it might be an artifact from Speak to Text transcription. Heck it might even be a TikTok trend.
