This screamer I see everywhere: ‘009. The little mark before the numbers is supposed to be an apostrophe, but most times it isn’t; it’s an open single quote. This mistake started to happen when we all went to desktop publishing. Computers don’t know when it’s supposed to be an apostrophe or an open single quote. It’s the same key. Well, on Macs there’s a special character: Option Shift ] (bracket). On PCs just type a letter, type the apostrophe, then delete the letter, and there’s the apostrophe. Easy peasy.
