In my TV post last week, I highlighted a few sites on which I’d seen a Bad Apostrophe or two, including GeekZenith. But as I was browsing around his site, I saw several more apostrophe problems in GZ’s stories. In fact, from the half-dozen posts that I clicked into, I found BAs in all but one of them. In short, he has a consistent problem with punctuation.
He really covers the gamut of types of Bad Apostrophes, too. From “it’s”…
… it’s much better counter part …
… it’s fifth season…
… to general possession…
… the terrorists unbridled love…
… to present-tense verbs…
… Sony let’s slip that their Amazing Spider-Man…
… flick Oblivion get’s official synopsis…
… to plurals…
Should the studio’s MAKE this happen…
he filmed his scene’s for the movie
… and even names.
… the ones who flagged up Thano’s making an appearance…
I’m sure that if I kept reading this guy’s site, I’d amass quite the collection of BAs — one to rival that of the Wired writers. But I don’t plan to go back, because aside from the apostrophe errors, he also had lots of other grammar problems and I didn’t find his writing particularly insightful.
