Should have called this thread "Crumple posts utter nonsense again".

It's only a short step from a missing apostrophe to the end of civilisation as we know it... :tea:

given my near complete absence of capitals, you can guess most pillars and columns are already falling to ruin.

Ah, speaking of the demigod--
Apostrophes. Son of Ellipses who was visited by Zeus in the form of a gravy tureen. His son Ampersand ruled Crete until the Battle of Hypodiastole.

Apostrophes was known for being selfish, and continuously added letters to his name so that nobody else could have them. In the end his name took over a fortnight to pronounce. This angered Zeus, who once took so long toasting him at a feast that he sobered up, causing him to realize that his new girlfriend was in fact a stoat.

The gods punished Apostrophes by removing every letter from his name, leaving him with a single stroke ( ' ). He is thus used to indicate possessiveness to this day.
