We are aware of the way the English language is evolving during use, and do not intend any direct criticism of those who have made mistakes, but are just reminding all writers of English text, whether on notices or in documents of any type, of the correct usage of the apostrophe should you wish to put right mistakes you may have inadvertently made.

With regret I have to announce that, after some 18 years, I have decided to close the Apostrophe Protection Society.



There are two reasons for this. One is that at 96 I am cutting back on my commitments and the second is that fewer organisations and individuals are now caring about the correct use of the apostrophe in the English Language.



We, and our many supporters worldwide, have done our best but the ignorance and laziness present in modern times have won!



This web site, masterminded by John Hale, will however remain open for some time for reference and interest.
