Apostrophes: Serious Business

I just... I think I'll just leave these here:

Waterstones, the bookshop, has dropped the apostrophe in its trading name and logo, sparking outrage among some of its customers.

"It's just plain wrong", said John Richards, chairman of the Apostrophe Protection Society

(Tried going meta by putting "Apostrophe's:" in the subject, but I think that was just too evil for the mods.)

I agree; it's a lovely little piece of punctuation.

It's a popular punctuation mark around here; my boss dressed up as a semicolon for Halloween once.

I've been known to abuse them sometimes; woken up with a few stuck to my face.
