Apostrophes or is it apostrophe's?

The apostrophe is fine. I thought the problem was the preposition at the end of the sentence.

Yep. "Where is it?" would be acceptable. "Where is it at?" just drives me up the wall. Totally unnecessary.

reminds me of William Safire and his painful nit picking of bad grammar.

I make no bones about it. I gave up on it long time ago. Like LPH, I really do not have a first language. My other language is Japanese and let me telll youuuu that the grammar is worldly different that it might as well be (been) an alien language. Even Chinese have some similarities to English but not Japanese. Tis why the Chinese are able to speak more correct American or British English whereas Japanese, well , not so much.

Spoken language is alive, vibrant and full of life. It should change with generations. How else can it express each generations unique view of the world? We had the rat pack, '50s generation had theirs, hippies, yippies, yuppies, X-gen, valley talk oh my gawd!!, grunge talk. Makes it more interesting. And now with texting, even spelling is going through some major transformation. It's amusing not bemused.

Those are great!
I should have posted a reply in the theme, but my brain isn't working so well, as it were.

The misplaced apostrophes really bother me.
Enough said. It hurts my eyes.
