  • Really. Apostrophes are used for possession & contractions (not making words plural). In this case, you are omitting the 19 from the decade starting at 1990. What is plural is the years inside that decade, meaning the 10s place. All to say, it is 100% ’90s*.

  • Does anyone else feel like tech peaked around 10+ years ago?
    • a lot of pioneering in the ’70s*
    • right there in the late ’70s*
    • Most people ended the ’70s* living like they did in the ’60s*
    • a lot of invention in the ’80s*
    • crystalized in the ’80s*
    • We emerged from the ’80s*
    • lot of evolution in the ’90s*
    • a lot of revolution in the 2000s*
    • a lot of stagnation in the 2010s*
    • Now we arrive in the 2020s*
    • In truth this began in the 2010s*
    • the sinisterization of the ’20s*

    But you got it right for “TRS-80s” & “August of ’91”!

    Why isn’t this sub correctly named “’90s Music”

    Apostrophes are for possession & contractions, not making all of the years in a decade plural.
