Hi Mary Ann,

I don't think the use of an apostrophe in your post's title is necessary. The plural of apostrophe is apostrophes.
Here's a helpful link which is short.

I'm guessing that she know's that.

Where I think the most enlightened tend to err, is decades. Remember the 70's? If you do, you weren't there! ha, ha. But they were the '70s.

noun: apostrophe; plural noun: apostrophes

an exclamatory passage in a speech or poem addressed to a person (typically one who is dead or absent) or thing (typically one that is personified).

Oh English language! Thou art so fickle in thy nature and treatment of words' meaning and punctuations abuse.

Oh, sorry. Pass the pot. Gotta put your elbows into it.

Now that's stirring.

(Whaddya think of that's stirring?)

If you haven't already, read "Eats, Shoots & Leaves" by Lynne Truss. I thought it was hilarious, frustrating, and like fingernails on a chalkboard.

One of my favorite book's.

Do whatever you want with the apostrophe.

Just leave my oxford commas alone!

Apostrophe? It's a word's greatest feature when used properly, and its downfall when used improperly.

Pot successfully stirred. Ha.
Many pot's stirred with multiple spoon's.

Now, how about possessive before a gerund? That one is a bit more obscure.
Your looking at this silly post is an example.
