Grammar Tip of the Day

When yinz needs an apostrophe– I’ll meet yinz at the Coney.

No apostrophe needed. No possession exists.

– Can I have one ‘a yinz’s honey-hot wings?.An apostrophe is needed before the s. (‘s) The wings

belonged to your good friend, “Yinz”

An apostrophe is needed after the s, (s’) as it is showing plural possession. The wings belonged to the multiple people who are your good friends.
