Wow! - 09-21-2008, 09:10 PM

Pretty darned good for a foreigner and most importantly thanks for 7,000 fabulous posts

Concerning the apostrophe I was always taught to use it when it's (it is) replacing a letter that's missing.

Therefore cds is the plural - no apostrophe needed
Isn't - the apostrophe is replacing the 'o' of not
Can't - same thing
won't - the apostrophe is working hard to shorten 'will not'

The other odd usage of apostrophes is to make names that end with 's' plural e.g.
Lucas' is correct - Lucas's isn't
Banks' is correct - Banks's isn't

If this post comes over as extremely patronising to anyone then I whole heartedly apologise and shall get my coat
