vigilante grammarians unite!!

The Vigilante Grammarians have begun our campaign. Last night Sheena and I were wandering around on 2nd ave, heading to closing night of Lynne's awesome show (What Women Talk About), and we passed by one of the many bars that line the street.

There was a chalkboard sign out front advertising the upcoming Yankees v. Redsox game (which was, incidently, rained out). Now, here's what the sign actually said: "Yankee's v Redsox tonite"

Completely ignoring the obnoxious spelling of "tonite", do we see the problem here, people? so Sheena and I did what any red blooded American grammar snob would do; we erased the apostrophe. (should have documented said erasing, i know). Immediately after the sign was fixed, a drunk man behind us shouted, "what are you, redsox fans?" to which I replied, "we're just not apostrophe fans" and sheena added, "but we ARE redsox fans".

Here's the thing. as evidenced by this post, i'm not up on all of my grammar rules. i don't know when to use a semi colon instead of a colon. i vacilate between the american and british rules regarding punctuation after quotation marks. but BUT i DO know when to use an apostrophe. and when to rub that apostrophe out. and, by god, that's what i'm going to do.

who's with me????
