Apostrophes are the troublesome teenagers of the punctuation world: they hang out where they really don't belong, they give a

lot of people major headaches and they possess a rather hanging expression. The rules for using apostrophes are really quite simple, and there shouldn't be a reason why they aren't slotted into or after words correctly, but their correct usage is a bit of a dying art: see if you make the grade.
