To Apostrophe or To Not Apostrophe That is the Question!!!!
What is a name, is a cemetery with not an apostrophe the same; as one with an apostrophe. Is better to apostrophe or to never have apostrophe. Okay pretending to be Shakespeare does not help. But the project has a question of monumental importance to accomplish. The slings and arrows of grammar; which as you can tell from our post can be a little iffy. The sign now at Howards Cemetery is spelled Howards. The school is called Howard no "S" needed. I am leaning toward the traditional Howards spelling; because that is how it has been since the original sign. My co hort cares more for the stones. So we contacted the state, to settle the question, guess what; you know you want to say "What", Well Howards, has been spelled every way it could be spelled; Howards, Howard, Howard's and Howards'. So, is a cemetery spelled four different ways; still a cemetery. Thank goodness we don't have to worry about run on sentences, or the project would be lost; as you can see by our post.
