Hunting the elusive apostrophe

We need your help. This week we are hunting the elusive apostrophe — you know, the one at the end of St. John's. Oh, that's right, there isn't one. Ever wonder why not?

For the next issue of My St. Johns Sun, we'll be focusing on the missing apostrophe, examples of it cropping up in places where perhaps it shouldn't, and the reasons why it is no longer part of the official names of either the river or the county.

If you know any amusing antecdotes about the apostrophe, or are versed in its history, please share them with us. If you or someone you know is a member of the grammar police and think the apostrophe needs to return, we'd love to hear from you.
