Re: Biggest problem is the apostrophe

Hello different AC, it is AC1 here, AC1 what wrote the 'apostrophe' thing. Nice to meat you.

"In defence of AC, all the words were correctly spelled"

There was at least one non-word which a spell checker should have spotted and a human might have auto-corrected on reading, but no matter, you got the real point anyway:

"but were inappropriate for the intended meaning of the sentence."

Exactly.

TL;DR: Language can be hard, English especially so. Why make it even harder by encouraging (or at best, tolerating) carelessness where carelessness is inappropriate.
