A sign of the impending apocalypse: the apostrophe. [Jan. 31st, 2009|10:18 am]

As many of you have no doubt read, The city of Birmingham is dropping apostrophes from street signs.

I was horrified until I read [info]mad_maudlin's (our mad linguist) light and funny post about the history of using the possessive apostrophe and why it's NOT A SIGN OF THE APOCALYPSE.

Many, "huh, really?" moments. Also, I'm rather embarrassed for the English language. Our underwear is showing.

From [info]kerrikins:

Ohio church refuses to sign marriage licenses until gay marriage ban is lifted.

They say it's a civil rights issue. Damned right it is.
