Theo,

you just took about 50 years off your true age by using the feral apostophe. . Grumpy old buggers (includes me) usually don't fall into that trap. Its usually one for the young 'uns.

"young 'uns" Now that's misuse of an apostrophe!

yunguns realised that apostrophes are actually early warning devices in the event of an iminent letter 'S'.

F"Eats, shoots, & leaves "Dutch

Shouldn't that be "eat's shoot's and leave's"?

Of course, you can replace the apostrophe with the letter it is a marker for.....

..."young 'uns" becomes "young wuns"
