The most butchered punctuation mark in the English language. Apostrophes are used
1) to
indicate contractions,
2) to indicate possession (in some cases), and
3) VERY occasionally to denote a plural (where otherwise the meaning of the sentence would be unclear).
The use of an apostrophe in the contraction "it's", (which means "it is"), but not in "its", (which is a possessive) causes problems for many people who didn't pass third grade.

Incorrect: Screw you moran's. Go USA.
Incorrect: Its raining cat's and dog's.
Incorrect: Here come's the train. Grab it's cargo.
Correct: Don't go in that room.
Correct: The cat's litter box is dirty.
Correct: Mind your p's and q's.
(the above is one of the ONLY CORRECT USES OF AN APOSTROPHE TO DENOTE A PLURAL. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD IF YOU'RE UNSURE, JUST LEAVE THE APOSTROPHE OUT.)

Get the apostophe mug.a religion that worships the lord thy God ( the father, son, and Holy Ghost) and tries to live the best for god, taking the bible and the books in it to see what they think what it says means, especially because that is what the bible says you should do. we try to live our lives completely dedicated to God, repenting for every sin we commit, and going up to the alter to pray, not paying any attention to what people may think you look like when you pray, because God is looking for that someone who doesn't care what people think of them when praying, because god likes to be #1 in your life, not something you try to fit into your schedule after something else
long ago, the catholic church named us penecostols, because we rebelled from the catholic church, because we thought that their practices were wrong, dressing their pope as if he were a god, everyone wearing jewelry and all, but many people called themselves penecostols later on and so then we were called apostolics

Get the Apostolic mug.Noun. Plural "apostrophies". A prize-winning apostrophe error.
An apostrophe added to a plural word ("apostrophe's" is wrong), or missing from a possessive word ("Johns car" is wrong) or other similar error, in a public or other glaringly obvious place - such as a broadsheet newspaper headline, in financial terms & conditions, or a celebrity's tattoo.

Each of these, if published, could be classed as an apostrophy:
