One of my pet peeves is the incorrect use of an apostrophe to mean a plural. For example: The defendant's were surprised by the verdict.
Thanks goodness for The Oatmeal Comics! The Oatmeal has an easy to read, easy to understand, funny comic about "How to Use an Apostrophe."
Not only that, The Oatmeal also has a collection of six grammar posters, including, inter alia, "How and Why to Use Whom in a Sentence," "How to Use a Semicolon," and "What It Means When You Say Literally." I ordered the Grammar Pack for my office.
