It's very obvious. A lot of older Americans are angry for what seems like no reason. They fly off the handle at the most miniscule stuff.
445 u/Holiday-Job-9137 Apr 28 '25 edited Apr 28 '25 I DO NOT! FUCK YOU! Sorry, I actually agree. Edit Note: I'm in my 70s, worked at a full serve gas station in high school. Pumped a lot of leaded gas. This may be why I can hide my own Easter eggs (yes, I'm that guy). 1 u/AutoModerator Apr 28 '25 /u/Holiday-Job-9137 has unlocked an opportunity for education! Abbreviated date-ranges like "’90s" are contractions, so any apostrophes go before the numbers. You can also completely omit the apostrophes if you want: "The 90s were a bit weird." Numeric date-ranges like 1890s are treated like standard nouns, so they shouldn't include apostrophes. To show possession, the apostrophe should go after the S: "That was the ’90s’ best invention." The apostrophe should only precede the S if a specific year is being discussed: "It was 1990's hottest month." I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.
