S.P.I.  +  688741 Thu, 19 Mar 09 10:39 PM I have seen apostrophes put at the end of words, but I am not sure about their purpose there. Which of these two sentences make more sense? a) Today's letter is B! b) Todays' letter is B! Could you guys please shed some light on the rules of using apostrophes at the end of words? Thank you.

	AlpheccaStars  +  688757 Fri, 20 Mar 09 12:49 AM  The apostrophe marks possessive case. (belonging to) The leg of the man is broken. == The man's leg is broken. (One man has a leg = man's leg) The dresses of the girls are pretty. The girls' dresses are pretty. (Many girls have dresses == girls' dresses) There is one today, so (a) is correct.  The letter of today is B! There can be more than one week.  The letter of this week is B! This week's letter is B.  The letter of the next 3 weeks is B! The next 3 weeks' letter is B!     AlpheccaStars Joined on Sun, Oct 12 2008 Senior Member 3,508 The pen is mightier than the sword.

Only A is correct, because 'today' is singular. For a plural, the apostrophe goes at the end, eg three days' time.
