Apostrophe apostates bringing about the apostrophe apocalypse (apocryphally).

You know, I never once misread the title until now. And now I keep misreading it. Thanks for that.

With me, the "Y" comes the following morning. Usually in the combination "Y-O-Y did I drink so much?"

If you ever find yourself in Reykjavik, visit the cocktail lounge of Apotek: Frontpage - Apotek Some of the best and most original cocktails we've ever had, great food and desserts that are like artworks.

Not a character, but a village in one of my games was called East Clintwood.

I have a Rogue called Francis Crawford.
