    It 'sound's like a 'simple 'solution to 'some but 'seriou'sly, 'should 'sign's 'signify 'someone's owner'ship for the 'sake of 'sati'sfactory pro'se?

    The apostrophe is dead! Long live the comma!
    Cheers

    I think apostrophes were long ago dropped from signs in Oz. I can't recall seeing one in many years.

    I believe the apostrophe is an essential part of grammar but I suspect it will eventually disappear.

    Many people can't use a comma, either.

    Ron, don't worry... it'll still be used by many to indicate plurals (plural's)

    I oppose the apostrophe'less!

    The department store is even David Jones now instead of David Jones'!

    It's a bit like the way people write "Anzac" as in (Anzac Pde) whereas it should be ANZAC, the illiterate are out-breeding the literate so alas we'll see more of it.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    Perhaps the literate are reading too much instead of ... whatever the illiterate are doing?
