A comment thread by readers of Skin Horse, 2015-08-07:
| Dave: | Surviving catastrophes is the Skin Horse team's specialty. And if there isn't a catastrophe, then they'll cause one and survive the sh*t out of it! |
| Oakandsage: | But how are they on surviving apostrophes? |
| BrokenEye, the True False Prophet: | Unknown. The great greengrocer's apostrophe epidemic of '63 was a little before their time. The revelation that the outbreak originated from a sample in government deep freeze is what eventually lead to the dissolution of the Office of Grammatical Affair's and the formation of the Federal Grammar Police as we know it today, along with embezzlement scandal involving billion's of dollar's worth of 'misplaced' government modifier's. |
| Trivena: | I see a few of them escaped, and are now surviving in the wild. |
| Kirala: | Feral apostrophes are a real problem. Please, spay and neuter your apostrophes. And slaughter all apostrophe's. For humanitarian purposes. |
| Seph: | No need to slaughter them: if you replace unwanted apostrophes' helium with nitrogen they will float gently to the ground, where they can be carted off and reused as commas. |
| kag: | You have to be careful introducing excess commas into the grammatical ecosystem, you can easily get an outbreak of comma splices. |
