Can Anyone ...

Post by g-man »

Formulate a sentence where every word contains an apostrophe. The goal is to distract Julian long enough that perhaps other posts may slip through the apostrophe' cracks.

Nope. Doesn't work as hill is a separate word with no apostrophe.

"t'hill" is an abbreviation in the same way that "Port's" is, thus becoming a single word with an apostrpohe.

Not really, no. I don’t think my brother’s wife has a sister. Though I might be wrong.

The correct response was, of course:

"No, definitely O'Reilly"
