The obsession with use of apostrophes irritates me.This is not just in Kenya but even in books from other countries considered to be better in English

Thus you will find

No matatu's beyond this point.Sad

The Juma's wish you quick recovery.Sad

MP's have doubled their salaries.Sad

In the 1960's Kenya fought against the Shifta.

My English teachers taught me that the apostrophe shows something belongs to something/someone else.

What a wicked man I am!The things I want to do,I don't do.The things I don't want to do I find myself doing
