You should probably title this "Crunch's Apostrophe Use " instead of being so sly.

Now, let's all get on the same page with the Oxford comma, because I've seen too many morons, idiots, and simpletons get it wrong.

how do you embed videos so they function properly? I keep getting a playback error at every attempt.

"once and a while", let's talk about all the people who use "should of", "could of", and "would of".

For YouTube you copy the number/letter sequence after the ‘=‘.
I added some spaces to Yamers link so you could see.

You’d have to delete those spaces to make it function.

Friendly reminder that when referring to decades there's no apostrophe. It's the 70s, 80s, 90s, not the 70's, 80's, 90's.

I’d argue that there is, as in ‘70s, ‘80s, ‘90s.

Good to know. I have probably been guilty of that but I could care less.

I could be wrong but to actually properly reference a decade you would add the apostrophe before the decade because you creating a contraction ('70s, '80s, '90s.)

Apostrophe Use
When indicating a plurality of something, an apostrophe should not be used.
