<VV> Apostroplectic and Y3K disasters

[Charles Lee]

Unless the apostrophe replace the "20" and we start worrying about Y3K
disasters !

I've always wondered how they dealt with the Y1K" problem ~ going from 3
digit years to 4-digits ~ that must have really fouled up their abacuses !

Say, Tom, as long as you're getting worked up about the use of the 
apostrophe, how about my pet peeve -- misplacing the apostrophe when 
contracting the model year!

I see plenty of posts along the lines of "I have a 64' Corvair."  I say, 
really?  A 64-foot Corvair?

Gang, the apostrophe replaces the "19."

Rap those knuckles!
