Hello gang,

The volume of lively debate about the use and misuse of the apostrophe surprised me.

It seems, however, that this list is not the only source of esoteric intercourse (and after the recent ad nauseum discusion on various aspects of base human instinct, I use this term srictly in the sense of "dialogue"). I was surprised to hear the following discussion and song "Pity the Poor Apostrophe". So, for those interested in CBC radio's take on the oft abused apostrophe, see http://personal.nbnet.nb.ca/jgsavoie/CBC-Radio1-BasicBlack-Apostrophe.mp3 (sorry about the drop-out).
