Well, if you choose to follow the New York Times Manual of Style, then there are two (maddening and puzzling) exceptions to this rule: years (the 1900's not 1900s) and all abbreviations (DVD's not DVDs). They're the only publication I know of though that employs this antiquated style.

Thank you very much for your opinion sir.

Although technically I can counter your argument and call the apostrophe (it is not in fact a quotation mark) being positioned correctly.

I had no intention on using a plural of the word firm, rather than to refer to Idnes (Czech News Corporation), as the originator of the cuts in logos of many corporations.

Therefore I am stating that the apostrophe was indeed needed and it doesn't look asinine for the person that was able to understand my train of thought, however that might be difficult for a mortal.

There are many possibilities in grammar, and one should always see if there really is a mistake, or if the author has just used a sentence that has (and I have to admit that) meaning somewhat far away from the general standard of sentence composition.

In addition, there is a need to highlight the composition of TL's members, who come from all over the world. I believe it is benefical towards us if we allow anyone to try to express them in a language that might be their second, third or fourth, without undermining their confidence.


Have good day sir,


LemOn

Original Message:
Apparently you found it necessary to add a superfluous quotation mark where it was not needed. It looks rather asinine.


+ Show Spoiler +
I have no problems with the usage of apostrophe, the problem is sometimes I change what I am trying to say mid-sentence. It was a composition nonsense rather than grammar -.-
