I Will Forgive Them For Their Apostrophe Abuse

[gnomi]

Because their iPhone app is so brilliant. Free for a limited time, they say.

(They use the name "Email 'n Walk." They've got smart quotes turned on, so their apostrophe is upside-down. Also, they should have apostrophes on both sides of the n. I also would prefer they use a dash in "E-mail," but that's a matter for style guides to fight out.)

(Thanks to Universal Hub for the heads-up.)

In informal writing (and in formal writing when it would otherwise sound awkward), I have no problem ending sentences with prepositions. I'd rather not do verbal gymnastics when my point is clearly made anyway.

And I have always enjoyed the tale of the lighthouse keeper and his wife.
