They always crawl out the woodwork don't they - the ones who have zero to add
to any debate but pick up on the tiniest typo and think they've come up with
some stunningly original yet subtle putdown.

I guess we'll hear from you again in another year or 2 when someone mentions
grammar again when you'll cut and paste the same response?

In fact, I have a web page I wrote about 15 years ago about correct use of the
apostrophe.

Is it extant? Can we have a URL please?

It isn't meant as an unnecessary put-down (unlike your post full
of personal insults). If I read a sentence and it has incorrect apostrophe usage,
it immediately grates and distracts my attention from whatever point was being
made. It's deeply ironic that someone making an off-topic post about grammar,
and making sweeping statements about whole sections of society who live in
certain types of housing development, should not even check his post for errors
before sending it, and then criticise anyone who picks up on it for being
off-topic and contributing nothing. A pot calling two different kettles black.
