Morning Throwback: before autocorrect, dealing with apostrophes sucked

By Brianne Hogan

Press Operators and Typsetters, 1898 (Toronto Archives: Fonds 1137, Item 1)

Yep, it sure does suck when it’s your job to typeset and you let “your” stand in for “you’re.” Again. After 2,000 copies have already been printed. Remember: “your” is a possessive adjective and “you’re” means “you are.” Example: it’s your fault that we have to be stuck in this sweaty basement for another week printing out more copies. You’re such a tool.
