Apostrophe banned in Britian

What is your’s is yours. The Queen’s English will become the Queens English. What is worse is that soon the exclamation mark and question mark could be banned making it impossible for Britain-ites to shout in messages or ask questions via written form.

England’s second-largest city has decided to drop apostrophes from all its street signs, saying they’re confusing and old-fashioned.

But some purists are downright possessive about the punctuation mark.

It seems that Birmingham officials have been taking a hammer to grammar for years, quietly dropping apostrophes from street signs since the 1950s. Through the decades, residents have frequently launched spirited campaigns to restore the missing punctuation to signs denoting such places as “St. Pauls Square” or “Acocks Green.”

Throughout the world people will make up websites for anything, in this case the anything is for a website that is attempting to “kill the apostrophe“.
