    Even worse - when someone could of cared less. Which autocorrect keeps preventing me from typing in this post but somehow people still manage.

    Apostrophes after numbers.

    1960s not 1960's
    Rugby 7s not Rugby 7's

    And so on.

    They're, that should do it. ;)

    Funny you used 1960's as an example. At that time the apostrophe was considered proper.

    I hate when people who use the words "Repetitive" and "Redundant" in the same sentence.

    Was it? That's interesting, I didn't know that.

    I thought that as there was nothing missing and it's not possessive the apostrophe was incorrect.

    I wonder why it was considered proper then.

    Edit: Btw '60s is obviously fine.

    Edit: Further quick research suggests 1960s is British and 1960's is American.

    Do we have any US teachers in here who can confirm/deny?

    1960s looks better, to me but that may just be personal opinion.

    Pretty sure most of my teachers from the middle of the last century are dead. I'm not sure they were ever alive.
