A polite way to describe horrendous misuse of punctuation.
"Without the phony Russia Witch Hunt, and with all that we have accomplished in the last almost two years (Tax & Regulation Cuts, Judge’s sic - Oxford Apostrophe, Military, Vets, etc.) my approval rating would be at 75% rather than the 50% just reported by Rasmussen," shrieked our national shame.
The flagrant insertion or omission of an apostrophe in written English.

Condition suffered by English teachers and others who see missing and misplaced apostrophes where they shouldn't (or is it "shouldnt"?) be.

1) Apocryphal Middle Eastern punctuation analog to the Oxford (or Harvard) comma; 2) a way to take the wind out of gasbags who think that "proper" punctuation is somehow an indicator of either intelligence or social worth; 3) an example of how different cultures use punctuation differently, but still correctly-in Marrakech, the apostrophe is used with all plurals but not with the possessive.
"I believe it is vital to use proper punctuation, like the Oxford comma!"
"Dude, the Marrakech apostrophe is even more important, otherwise the meaning gets fraked!
