I Heart Apostrophes

I have found a ranter after my own heart! Well, that is, when my heart is focused on apostrophes, as it certainly has been on this blog before. Check out the Apostrophe Abuse blog. I love that there has been a blog dedicated to this "orthographic pet peeve" for three years.

Teefus, that sounds like a good book. However, now Amazon has mad me angry. Right under the name of the book, Amazon writes this:

"Explore more great deals on 1000's of titles in our Bargain Book store."

Yes, that's right. Amazon misuses an apostrophe even as they advertise a book about apostrophe usage! What is this world coming to?
