I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Will Donkey has all the grammar skills of a short-bus variety 4th grader. That said, Will does know his apostrophes. No matter how unintelligible his run-on sentence fragments may be, his apostrophes are always correct. Except when he's drunk, of course... or when he's been up all night necro-bumping posts... or when he's been up all night necro-bumping posts in a drunken stupor... but apart from that, he's usually pretty good with them.
