Fucking Apostrophes

A hilarious, furious and profoundly useful short guide to the most maddening punctuation in English

Apostrophes are an fâ€™ing pain. The rules about how to use them are complicated, and have evolved haphazardly.

Originally written as advice by a copywriter for designers Â— wont to insert and remove apostrophes at will, for visual effect Â— this is a lighthearted pocket-sized guide to getting the fâ€™ing things right.

Simon Griffin lets off steam so that we donâ€™t have to, showing precisely why "Rihanna and Jenniferâ€™s photos were all over the Internet" is quite different to "Rihannaâ€™s and Jenniferâ€™s photos" or what words apostrophes are replacing in sentences such as "Heâ€™d like you to buy him some cocaine," or "Theyâ€™ve got it all on camera."

Elegantly produced, this is the perfect gift for any pedant, as well as an indispensable guide in all our moments of grammar-related frustration.
