How to Stop Misusing Apostrophes with "AKA" - Everything you always wanted to know :)
 

This is tongue-in-cheek but SKEERIOUSLY needed as evinced by post after post on this board. :)

Thank me later. LOL.

Ok, here we go.

1. "AKAs" --> The ****PLURAL**** form of "AKA"
ex: There were three (note the plural) AKAs at the store.
wrong: There were three AKA's at the store.

2. "AKA's" --> The ****POSSESSIVE**** form for singular AKA
ex: That AKA's umbrella was pink and green. (no kidding lol)
ex: AKA's current program includes . . . (interests fill in the blank lol)
wrong: There were three AKA's at the store.

3. "AKAs' " --> The ****POSSESSIVE**** form for plural AKAs
ex: The five AKAs' party was fun.
wrong: There were three AKA's at the store.

Interests, please apply all of the above rules but instead of using "AKA" always use "Alpha Kappa Alpha" or "Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority" or "Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc."

Ok, off my soapbox :)

LOL, soror, but thank you. I'm glad I'm not the only one who is bothered by that. I'm practically a human grammar/spelling checker. ;o)

Soror, ok!! You would think that with all of these college degrees floating around in this forum that folk would learn how to use apostrophes!! Didn't we all learn this in 3rd or 4th grade? Apostrophes were hard but dang! We all finally figured out long division didn't we? LOL.

See that, we're not only pretty, but we're smart too!;)

Soror, of course we are! ;)

Sorry to crash, but as a member of another "ending in A" sorority, I HEART THIS THREAD. :D
