[ARC5] Navy Alphabet soup

[Richard Knoppow]

    In the book "Eats Shoots and Leaves" the author talks about 
the use and misuse of apostrophes. In particular he gives example 
of what he calls the greengrocer's apostrophe, as in Apple's or 
sometimes Apples'.  This is a book I strongly recommend to any 
who are interested in English usage.
