Hmmmm, I see they carefully avoided the "one months holiday" question.

I sometimes have to go back and put them where they are supposed to be. It's a bit of a boring chore.

I care about apostrophes. There has been an odd fad lately for throwing them in randomly almost anytime an "s" appears.
They'll pop up in names, like Aun'dre.

Well, we had this discussion at work and I spent a lot of time trying to find the correct answer and it seems English Language professors debate the issue, both sides' arguments make sense. On that basis I go with the “if in doubt don’t use it” school on this one.
*edited to correct a misplaced apostrophe*

I am against the apostrophe for this usage since I don't think that the month possesses anything. However, I have seen many opinions to the contrary.

Good. I'll follow that as well.

The French use of the apostrophe with English words is worthy of an English greengrocer. Pin's always gets my attention.
