the apostrophe
Oh, Pittsburgh. Yinz don' knah hah tah punchuate.
My wife asserts that the dropped apostrophe is a stylistic choice--after all, they drop it TWICE here. But I don't think so: sure, dropping the ' in "don't" is pretty common in text messaging, but dropping the apostrophe in "it's" makes it not just a misspelling but a different word. Jagoffs.
