I really cannot abide your thinking that a person’s SURNAME would have an apostrophe after the S as part of the actual spelling.

I just don't understand people who are so daft that they will write a sentence with two plurals and manage to do one correctly and one with an apostrophe.
If you run away to somewhere else, you are a runaway.
If you need to hide away someplace, you should find a nook and call it your hideaway.
See how that works?
let's go over this again:
When you go to the gym, your intent is to work out. When you've finished, the thing you did was a workout.
People don't "workout." They "work out." The activity they are doing is a "workout."
I don't understand why you don't understand apostrophes.
If you made a "complete 360," you did not change at all. You went in a circle.
"stereotype" is a word. So the adjective is "stereotyped," not "stereo-typed." Because duh.
By Julie Elman I admit it. I have a serious apostrophe pet peeve. I hate to see backwards apostrophes used in place of omitted letters. Example: I'm
the reason everyone sucks at writing is
that they stopped paying attention to teachers who taught writing after second grade, and now they think that the generalizations about grammar and punctuation they learned in elementary school in order to grasp the basics of writing are literally the only rules; e.g. "Commas let you take a breath" translates as "I can put a comma anywhere that I personally would want to take a break if I were doing a cold reading of this in a theater audition" and "It's may my friend and I go to recess?" translates to "the word 'me' must not exist anymore, and anytime I talk about myself and another person, it's '[person's name or subject pronoun] and I."
WHY DID YOU THINK YOU KNEW EVERYTHING ABOUT WRITING IN SECOND GRADE? WHY DID YOU STOP PAYING ATTENTION IN SCHOOL?
my "nothing is more obnoxious than" of the day:
Authors who end a dialogue tag with a period and then make a participle its own sentence right next to it. e.g.
"Blah blah," I said. Gerund blah blah.
How hard is it to put a comma after said and put the modifying part right next to it? Like, where it belongs?
Save your sentence fragments for when they are poignant and expressive, not for when you just now decided that your character would also be worrying at the same time that they were saying something.
An 11-year-old person is 11 years old.
He or she is NEVER 11-years-old.
after-all...
Common phrase everyone uses DOES NOT EQUAL hyphens between each of the words in the phrase.
what's a beating path?
I have no idea either.
Maybe that's because you should be "off the beaten track," like off the road more traveled, and not off the track that is trying to hit you.
