A hilarious, furious and profoundly useful short guide to the most maddening punctuation in English
Apostrophes are a fing pain. The rules about how to use them are complicated, and have evolved haphazardly.
Originally written as advice by a copywriter for designers wont to insert and remove apostrophes at will, for visual effect this is a lighthearted pocket-sized guide to getting the fing things right.
Simon Griffin lets off steam so that we dont have to, showing precisely why Rhianna and Jennifers photos were all over the internet is quite different to Rhiannas and Jennifers photos or what words apostrophes are replacing in sentences such as Hed like you to buy him some cocaine, or Theyve 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.
WARNING: CONTAINS EXPLICIT LANGUAGE!

At last, a book that tells you exactly where to stick your apostrophe ... funny and useful, the perfect stocking filler. -- David Marsh * Guardian *
