It's great, but try reading the one on apostrophe's and see if you can still get it right every single time. We need some sort of academy anglaise to make decisions on the language and exorcise the apostrophe once and for all. Cursed thing it is.

I'm pretty sure you made an apostrophe mistake in "apostrohpe's" - the "s" is making "apostrophe" plural.
That was a stab at irony, which apparently flew over the heads of most readers.

I do not understand where the confusion lies. In the vast majority of cases its use is simple.
