Tech Update: Apostrophes Allowed in Item Titles!

Thanks to several community suggestions, we've updated the listing process to now allow apostrophes in item titles!

Brush up on your grammar skills and learn everything you ever wanted to know about the apostrophe on wikipedia. Now you can officially do the happy dance about grammatically correct item titles!  It's a perfect time to list a new item to test it out or simply edit some of your current titles to reflect the change!

xoxo,

Here's a giant hug from the English teacher. Now I don't have to look like an idiot in my listing titles anymore. Or at least, if I do, it's my own fault.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Actually, the best place for grammatical instruction is Strunk and White's "Elements of Style." As a purist I have not replaced my ancient, used, 1972 version with the new illustrated one, but I hear it's excellent as well.

It's actually been YEARS of community suggestions, guys. Calling it a response to "several" suggestions seems a bit ingenuous.

That said, I'm very glad to have access to the little suckers :)
