Apostrophes and You
 

I've noticed that the incorrect use of apostrophes is extremely common here (Solo'd, duo'd, etc.) Is that a thing on these boards or a genuine misuse of punctuation? I'm not bashing or language-shaming, but I am certainly intrigued.

apostrophe is used in place of omitted letters.

please tell us more about how to properly punctuate made up words.

You bet! They are often used in place of omitted letters such as do not becoming don't. I do not believe they are intended to shorten a past tense word.

That said, duoed is indeed not a human word. Soloed, however, is.

Again, I am just curious about this message board phenomenon.

Lol...,

While we're on the topic of grammar, it's "would have" or "would've," not "would of."

Would of is NOT A THING

language is a made up thing it can change with time

we don't say shit like "if thou wylt" anymore either

rofl. :D

P.S. You got pwn'd OP

Not woulda? :D

I lived with two Linguistics majors in college (and half of our very large D&D group were Linguistics majors also; one even had a character named !abu). They would confirm this.
