Grammar Lesson

Okay, I'll make this simple. There are only two times you should use an apostrophe:
1. To indicate possession. For example: "This is Hunter's toy."
2. For contractions. For example: "The Cavaliers aren't going to the Conference Finals"; as opposed to "The Cavaliers are not going to the Conference Finals."

Knowing this, the advertising flier I received yesterday touting "100's of bargains!!!" is just wrong, wrong, wrong.

    Okay, we'll let John and folks like Rusian Murav'ev keep their apostrophes, but that's it.
