Ok but shame about the apostrophe

Sadly, its just how people do it these days. Schools aren't teaching kids how to put an apostrophe in it's correct place.

I see what you did there.

The reservoirs' apostrophes are the ones that always get me.

I really believe this is a Gen Z thing. 10-15 years ago, this was not nearly as prevalent.

It was called a "greengrocers' apostrophe" back in the day. It's been a fairly common incorrect usage for a very long time.

Is a Gen Z really writing this headline?

Site appears to have been hugged to death by people checking if that apostrophe is in the page title too
