I am terrible with grammatical rules. I write the way that I speak and I almost always make dozens of errors on my papers. I use incorrect punctuation marks and I never place a comma in the right place, and apostrophes... don't even get me started.
The new word I found to help describe part of my predicament is the word prepostrophe. The word prepostrophe comes from the two words preposterous (absurd, ridiculous, etc.) and the word apostrophe (the punctuation mark used to signify the exclusion of one or more letters from a word, it also is used to signify possessives). The word literally means an absurd use of apostrophes. Be sure you don't use any prepostrophes on your linguistics paper.
