How to use an apostrophe

[gordon stelter]

This is hardly useless! When I let someone into my
home to work on an expensive fixture, literacy is one
aspect which gives me confidence. The decline of
literacy/decency/morality in our culture is appalling,
and I merely wanted to suggest, for their own benefit,
that technicians obtain an understanding of standard,
3rd grade level punctuation to avoid embarrassment
when dealing with educated (often the best
paying)clientele!
    If you prefer to eternally work on Janssen spinets
in trailerparks, well, I suppose that none of this
matters.
     Thank You!
     Gordon
