undoubtedly this was due to the influence of big business interests like
the chicago apostrophe factory on US federal politics. it's well known
that they were working with the aliens to overthrow the british empire
and bring in the new world order.
and it worked. just look around you and see how many people misuse
apostrophes these days. it's the secret sign of the conspirators.
i'll be keeping a close eye on Ben's use of apostrophes from now on. i
urge you all to do the same.
