I'm an American, and I prefer the metric system.
Also, I don't use inappropriate apostrophes.
As a non-native american I do have difficulties with apostrophes at
times. Especially when the exceptions become the rule.
There's only one exception: it's and its - the latter is the possessive, the
former is the contraction.
But not to worry: There is the Law of Apostrophe Conservation which states
that every apostrophe used properly is off-set by one used wrongly.
And, to some, a "non-native american [sic]" is an American who is not an
Indian.
