As we all know there are many types of dashes. There's the hyphen, the figure dash, the em dash, and the en dash. But it's a bit of a stretch to mistake the apostrophe for one of these.
President Trump isn't known for an expansive vocabulary or great English writing skills. But last Friday, Merriam-Webster had to take a bit of a jab at him for confusing his punctuations. His spelling, on the other hand, is another matter entirely.
“For those looking up punctuation early on a Friday morning: A hyphen is a mark – used to divide or to compound words. An apostrophe is a mark ‘ used to indicate the omission of letters or figures,” the Merriam-Webster tweet read.
