Apostrophes are kind of a tertiary punctuation. I mean, I get why they are there, but most of the time they are unnecessary to actually read a word or sentence correctly. I mean, you remember those pages they gave you in school where you had to add in the punctuation marks yourselves? Those kinds of things kind of epitomize how useless apostrophes are, as everything pretty much read correctly and you were just throwing them in because thats where they go. With periods or commas or question marks or the other common ones, when you read it, it just sounded awful in your head. But with apostrophes, those were just a chore. Its one of the most terrible punctuation marks.
