Life isn’t easy for those afflicted with apostrophe. Its a serious condition that is little understood by those not directly under its influence, aka people with non-Irish names. Common symptoms include:

+ Long waits at the DMV counter

+ The inability for any agency of any stripe find you in “their system”

+ The inability to enter your name correctly into any sort of LCD display

+ Confusion while entering your name into a grid.  (Does the ‘ get its own square? No? Do you have any white out?)

It is because of my own personal battle with the apostrophe that I decided today to finally fight back.  If I have the ability to make the apostrophe something that betters a person’s life instead of hinders it then dammit I’ll do it, even if it is only for one glorious, shining moment.

Today’s free 420 Jar is set aside for S. O’Brien. Hang in there big guy. You are not alone.
