Is an apostrophe directional?

To clarify - does an apostrophe face a certain way? I have seen most that seem to be straight up and down and I have seen some that seem to face to the left. I recently had some type set for a cup imprint and the copy contained Class of '66. Typesetter had the apostrophe facing right like a single quotation mark which did not look correct to me. He said it was the font..Would this be a correct usage?

Is this a correct possessive noun sentence. The houses' furniture was simple.?

If it is a single house, then the sentence is incorrect. If house is singular, the apostrophe should go before the s, with the sentence reading "The house's furniture was simple." The way the sentence reads now, it suggests plural houses.


If a name ends in s what is the correct way to write the possessive?

Styles vary, with some styles adding apostrophe S (e.g. Chris's or Jones's), especially where both the existing and the new S are sounded (sounds like the plurals Chrises and Joneses).Others, notably the AP Style Guide, use only an apostrophe (e.g. Thomas' or Bliss') but still add the pronunciation as another S sound.

What is the correct way to write Writers Workshop with or without the apostrophe?

The correct way to write "Writers Workshop" is without the apostrophe. This is because "Writers" is used as an attributive noun, describing the type of workshop being referred to. When using a noun as an adjective, it does not require an apostrophe. So, the correct form is "Writers Workshop" to indicate a workshop for writers.

Is this the correct spelling for 1980's?

Although we used to use apostrophes to indicate a series of years, the current convention is to drop the apostrophe and write a decade as a simple plural, like 1980s. The argument for changing this practice was that the added apostrophe created an incorrect possessive.
