Cartoon punctuation marks arrive at Hiring Hall, eager to get their assignments. Everyone wants to be helpful except Greedy Apostrophe, who mischievously inserts himself into plurals where he doesn't belong. Eventually he learns to behave. A "When Do You Use an Apostrophe?" page may help clarify the rules, but readers looking for anything other than a refresher will likely be confused.
