A (very frustrating) stroll through CVS
I don’t think I need to say much here. But I’ll just add a couple of quotes from the dictionary and a grammar book. ‘Nuff said.
Exhibit A:
Definition of DO-RAG: a kerchief worn especially to cover the hair
(source: M-W.com)
EXHIBIT B:
The apostrophe has three uses:
-
to form possessives of nouns
-
to show the omission of letters
-
to indicate certain plurals of lowercase letters
(and, therefore, “yours”–along with his, hers, and its, does NOT take an apostrophe!)
