I’m a big fan of DWT, and love all of the tips and lessons provided. Something I would like a review of, though I’m sure its been covered already, is the proper use of the apostrophe. When is it used after the word it’s connected to? When is ignore? Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
