There's a poison working its way through our society. It's called the plural apostrophe. Please inoculate yourself against this disease. A PLURAL DOES NOT REQUIRE AN APOSTROPHE. I hope it won't come to this, but I may need to form a band of roving apostrophe hunters. Pray for us.

Just found it in a guy's newsletter signup. Saw it last week in Tor #scifi #SFF content seller's material.

Is data singular or plural? That depends on your audience.

In scientific and academic writing, plural verbs and pronouns are preferred.
