I think my bigger issue with this one is the use of "100s" instead of "hundreds."<br />Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09774817532857016570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246003255618765456.post-74116689139279977612012-10-04T14:23:33.932-04:002012-10-04T14:23:33.932-04:00I'll take issue with this.

I like your blog, and many of the poor punctuation examples here ARE like daggers in my eyes, but not this one. <br /><br />Many writers still use an apostrophe after a numeral, acronym, or abbreviation (just like many writers still use the Oxford comma, as I did in that sentence). <br /><br />I think it's appropriate to write "all my CD's from the 1970's," and plenty of style guides agree. (See below.)<br /><br />Whether the guides are right or wrong (the Oxford ED seems to think both ways are appropriate), there's at least enough controversy over the topic not to excoriate a writer for using the apostrophe. <br /><br /><br />http://lilt.ilstu.edu/golson/punctuation/apostrophe.html<br /><br />http://englishplus.com/news/news1201.htm<br /><br />http://oxforddictionaries.com/words/apostropheTannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13519889078388486131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246003255618765456.post-39679923380169465112012-10-04T14:21:07.343-04:002012-10-04T14:21:07.343-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Tannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13519889078388486131noreply@blogger.com
