Apostrophe Man

Some people like Superman. Some like Spiderman. Some even like Batman, even though technically, he has no superpowers, just lots of gadgets. I used to like Wonder Woman. However, none of these guys have got anything on:


With his superhuman intellect, his mission is to defend unsuspecting civilians from apostrophe atrocities. Like the wind, you cannot see him, but he will gradually erode away the mountain of crimes against the apostrophe. His weapon of choice is a tireless letter writing campaign. Should this fail,  I suppose he might engage in a little civil disobedience with an eraser or a texta. Or chalk.

I never said he had super strength or super speed or mind control. 


OK. So maybe you will see him. I did tell you about him not having super speed or strength or mind control right? But you can ONLY see him when you're really in need. Like the A-Team. Or Mary Poppins. Or the Thunderbirds.

APOSTROPHE MAN! Sorting the possessives and contractions from the plurals. Whenever you have an apostrophe need, if you can find him, APOSTROPHE MAN will......try to get there. Or at least, write a strongly worded letter to the offending entity.


Disclaimer: Apostrophe Man deals only with offenses relating to the apostrophe. His expertise does not extend to the comma, colon or semi colon.
