PSA for the boreds: an apostrophe doth not a plural noun make.

It’s one of the worst possible intellectual slouch maneuvers when writing the English language. It’s totes cringe, if you will.

If you’re celebrating birthdays, don’t write “birthday’s” ever. If you’re selling a table and chairs, don’t write “chair’s” ever. If you’re putting bananas on your grocery list, don’t write “banana’s” ever.

If we intend for these bored’s to parallel the championship caliber of our University’s sport’s team’s, we need higher standard’s…

Over the (year's) have discovered I disagree with some so called "correct grammar".
To that end, I just use what I think to be better as to communication.

For example -> when to use ' as opposed to ". I also like to use -> a lot which is not correct.

I know grammar better than some, but think personal personality can be added to spice things up.

That their a great poast. Theres no reason so many people can't get they're englishes correct. Don't forget the RULE of I before E except after C. A RULE means alway's people.

Actually, poor grammar makes for poor communication. Texting isn't helping.

Texting truly is destroying the value of English composition.

Thats why I make sure my text’s are good one’s.

An apostrophe is just a stuck up comma.

That's a bit of a contraction. Anyway, you ate and left no crumbs, you slayed, you cooked.
