Glad to see that i'm not the only anal retentive one on that. It's only used to indicate a possessive or a contraction, not a plural.

Quotation mark's are also a major pet peeve as well.
yeah i did it on purpose.

I don't know what you're talking about.
I'll call it my little protest against the over-use of the apostrophe.

hmm well most people naturally have bad gramer, and poor spelling habbits, we did at one point have a spell check on the reply windows, man I miss that.

Things that make me go "hmmmmmm" = people who post in threads about the misuse of the apostrophe ... and use the word "its" instead of "it's" ... glad to see you have since fixed it.
