Apostrophes and you, what your teacher taught you but you didn't care about.

[Hiiro326]

Many of you guys know the correct usage of an apostrophe, which is great, I've seen many people who don't know how to use one.
This thread will hopefully help people that do not know how to use an apostrophe. (Clone ###, Hectic 2)

An apostrophe is a punctuation mark that represents characters (Letters, numbers) being omitted from text, if you mix two words you will probably need an apostrophe unless it's like Spoon and fork = Spork.


Example
INCORRECT: Twas, T'was, Tw'as, Twa's, ect
CORRECT 'Twas

I see this all the time, really it's a rookie mistake, everyone seems to fall victim to this one. You're taking out the I in the phrase "It was" and putting an apostrophe, why you'd ever need to say 'Twas is beyond me, but that's not the point.

It can be used in numbers too: 1849
INCORRECT: 49, 849
CORRECT: '49, '849

I saw this Hectic 2 guy say "Sides'"
INCORRECT: Sides, Sides' Side's
CORRECT: 'Sides

Probably meaning Besides, it should have looked like this "'Sides" if he wants to say 'sides for some stupid faux-southern accent when he's claiming to live in New York.

Now that you know your apostrophe get the forget out of here. I know this little guide will help like 5 of you.

You are some serious richard, arn't you?
I already said I was posting with my iPod.


And you're a serious jackass for criticizing how I decide so say "besides"

[Teneksi]

do they move to the wrong side of the word when you use an ipod

[Hectic II]

I took offense when he said I was trying to sound "stupid faux-southern accent, while claiming to be from New York"

[Rap3Therapist]

now i wonder why you made this thread 

[Hectic II]

No, it's just crazy uncomfortable and difficult to type what you want to say.

You pushed the same number of buttons to type 'Sides on an iPod as you would have to type Besides.

Symbols and then '

That's two.
