Apostrophe catastrophe?
956833
Too many people that didn't study in english class, I suppose. Way too many grammatical errors these days. But that seems to be the least of the problems now...its hard to find people who can actually spell! \nI think the book "Eats shoots, and leaves" should be required reading for EVERYONE!! \nSo, yes, I agree with you whole-heartedly! Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving!

I find that irritating as well.  I would suggest one of two things:\n\n1) \nHighlight cells in question\nGo to FORMAT pull down menu and select CELLS\nSelect the NUMBERS tab\nIn the CATEGORY window, select NUMBER and indicate how many decimal places to the right (or select whichever number category you deem appropriate)\nClick OK\n\n2) Worse Case Scenario\nType a single apostrophe in front of the number in each cell\nDon't worry, the apostrophe will not be visible after you hit the Enter/Return key\n\nGood luck!

the second on is correct, rule #3\n\n\nRule 1.  Use the apostrophe with contractions. The apostrophe is always placed at the spot where the letter(s) has been removed.  \n  Examples  don't, isn't \nYou're right. \nShe's a great teacher.  \nRule 2.  Use the apostrophe to show possession. Place the apostrophe before the s to show singular possession.  \n  Examples  one boy's hat\none woman's hat\none actress's hat\none child's hat\nMs. Chang's house\nMr. Jones's golf clubs\nTexas's weather\nMs. Straus' s daughter\nJose Sanchez's artwork\nDr. Hastings's appointment (name is Hastings)\nMrs. Lees's books (name is Lees)  \nRule 3.  To show plural possession, make the noun plural first. Then immediately use the apostrophe.  \n  Examples  two boys' hats\ntwo women's hats\ntwo actresses' hats\ntwo children's hats\nthe Changs' house\nthe Joneses' golf clubs\nthe Strauses' daughter\nthe Sanchezes' artwork\nthe Hastingses' appointment\nthe Leeses' books  \nRule 4.  With a singular compound noun, show possession with 's at the end of the word.  \n  Example  my mother-in-law's hat  \nRule 5.  If the compound noun is plural, form the plural first and then use the apostrophe.  \n  Example  my two brothers-in-law's hats  \nRule 6.  Use the apostrophe and s after the second name only if two people possess the same item.  \n  Examples  Cesar and Maribel's home is constructed of redwood. \nCesar's and Maribel's job contracts will be renewed next year. \nThere is separate ownership.\n\n\nCesar and Maribel's job contracts will be renewed next year. \nThere is joint ownership of more than one contract. \n \nRule 7.  Never use an apostrophe with possessive pronouns: his, hers, its, theirs, ours, yours, whose. They already show possession so they do not require an apostrophe. The only time an apostrophe is used for it's is when it is a contraction for it is.  \n  Examples  This book is hers, not yours. \nIt hurt its paw. \nIt's a nice day. \nIt's your right to refuse the invitation.  \nRule 8.  The plurals for capital letters and numbers used as nouns are not formed with apostrophes.  \n  Examples  She consulted with three M.D.s.\nBUT\nShe went to three M.D.s' offices.\nThe apostrophe is needed here to show plural possessive.\n\nShe learned her ABCs.\nthe 1990s not the 1990's\nthe '90s or the mid-'70s not the '90's or the mid-'70's\nShe learned her times tables for 6s and 7s.  \nRule 9.  Use possessive case in front of a gerund (ing word).  \n  Examples  Alex's skating was a joy to behold. \nThis does not stop Joan's inspecting of our facilities next Thursday.  \nRule 10.  If the gerund has a pronoun in front of it, use the possessive form of that pronoun.  \n  Examples  I appreciate your inviting me to dinner. \nI appreciated his working with me to resolve the conflict.

It would be the Church of getting people to use the apostrophe correctly.

When writing, an apostrophe is used to show possession, for abreviations, contractions, and also a few plurals.  I think this is what you were after.  If not, sorry.

Having two colons would be a catastrophe. But having an apostrophe of two would kind of just tick you off.

You may need to check the spelling.

The same reason you can't use an apostrophe when it's needed.

™\n\nLook under "Entities for punctuation characters" on the linked site. Can't just put the entity here because it keeps turning it into the actual symbol. =)\n\nThis is the correct (X)HTML way to do this. Some people will probably say to do alt-0153 but that probably won't do the trick.
