This is a rough weekend for a lot of people, especially punctuation sticklers. With Valentine's Day and Presidents' Day upon us, we're inundated with misplaced apostrophes.
This sparkly gift I received is appropriate for both holidays because it represents the love I feel for our president. Sadly, it commits two apostrophe catastrophes.
Stick Em' only works as a contraction if you're talking about a skinny dude named Emile. And, according to most style guides, MP3s shouldn't have an apostrophe in it either.
Happy Valentine's Day, blog readers! I love you!

It's also pretty funky that the "p" in "Mp3's" isn't capitalized.
Indeed the best valentines day gifts..
You were already "feeling the love" after Barry had been office only a month? Are you still feeling the love?
