eradicate the greengrocer's apostrophe

at least as far as my own writings are concerned—at least as far as I can tell :)

And if I’ll ever come across any unneeded apostrophe I’ll try to eradicate it. I promise!

On my way to better English this goal is a MUST.

But if you think you’re suffering, me dear English speaking people, then please be comforted: at least you are not living in a German speaking country.

In German there is no apostrophe for the genitive.
I mean, that’s what I learned at school. It’s not what I experience every day.

Eg. English: Helga’s Studio would be Helgas Studio in correct German.

Some HORRIBLE examples:

There’s a pub I used to go to where they sell beer from Flensburg, called “Flensburger” or, short, “Flens”. Or, yea, you’ll have guessed, on their menu it’s Flen’s.

Very strange: Ha’st du drangedacht (Ha’ve you thoughtofit* ... aha?)

But the most amazing thing I saw was an announcement for an after-the-exams-party (‘party’ = ‘Feier’):
Examen’s Feier Ooo, look out, the examen are coming to get ya!
