OpenStudy (twizttiez):

Please don't give out direct answers

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

Woah! Hold it right there Bruce! You can't be giving out answers without a detailed explanation!

OpenStudy (batman31):

this is kind of one of those things where there is no other explanation, just to show this person the proper use of apostrophes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it the first b thn second a

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

I was just going to give an explanation ya silly!

OpenStudy (batman31):

the irony does not escape me that your title is grammar police.

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

When you use this: ', it means you are trying to shorten a phrase or word. If you were to shorten cannot to just can't, the cutoff would be "can". And that's not ironic! That's not ironic at all!

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

Me being a stickler for rules fits in perfectly with my title!

OpenStudy (twizttiez):

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

08 is short for 2008, so the apostrophe would go right after the first 0.

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

OpenStudy (batman31):
