I am certain when this post is read by the membership many will frown or worse. But this nit just bugs me!
I have no doubt that I'm the only one so annoyed by this....

Why is the apostrophe so misused? What did it ever do you you?

" I own 5 Tamiya tank's "

" The Heng Long's are swell "

The usage of an apostrophe in the examples above is not correct. In proper usage the apostrophe is to denote possession as in Luke's
light saber or in a contraction such as she's - short for she is.

Remember, tanks are swell but tank's aren't unless they own you! ( which in many of our cases is true!)

Now back to my shop.....
