Is this what you were looking for? 1. The apostrophe, ['], is possibly the most misused little mark in the history of the language. Here is the deal: the possessive of most words is formed with an apostrophe. [Midge's husband is a nimrod.] The word "its" is possessive, but has no apostrophe. [The female Black Widow spider eats its mate.] If you shorten the phrase "it is", you're looking at "it's". [Screw the market, it's time to go surfing, dude.] Try and get this right, because you make yourself appear to be akin to Midge's husband if you fail repeatedly. (BTW, it's "CDs" not "CD's". Please try and get this stuff right.) 2. "There" and "their": "There" means 'not over here, over there.' "Their" means 'belonging to them'. [Their camping gear was stashed over there right before the aliens took them.] 3. I won't even get into stuff like "with all do respect". Let's [let us] just make an attempt to show all the folks [no apostrophe] that are seriously interested in this subject that we can write something that others [no apostrophe] can read.
