Y’all Suck at Apostrophes
February 21st, 2008
Sean O’Driscoll is on to us programmers. Check out his apostrophe exposé. Yep. Our systems suck, big time. We can’t even handle apostrophes correctly.
Rocket Science
- Send a man to the moon. Check.
- Shoot down a satellite. Check.
- Mars rover. Check.
- Hubble. Check.
Non-Rocket Science
- Display an apostrophe character. ***FAIL***
UPDATE!!!
Here is my java.blogs email alert for this post:

Has anyone whose name contains an apostrophe been to the moon?
