Apostrophe Abuse - And Head-Slapping Ignorance - At WEEI

Holy shit!

Misuse of it's/its makes me grit my teeth, but some people - even journalists and editors - apparently don't know any better. But how does someone covering the Red Sox every. single. day. make this mistake?

Bogaert's

That is fuckin' pathetic.

Also, in the mid-80's apparently Phil Rizzuto continually mispronounced Mike Pagliarulo's last name. The "G" is silent, but the Scooter would pronounce it. And he was Italian!
