Is that how this works?

Put the apostrophe down and no one gets hurt.
- The apostrophe will. Up is its natural habitat. Transplanting it elsewhere may cause a significant amount of distress. Worst case scenario, it might even turn into a comma!
- Apostrophes are a finite resource. We need to use them appropriately.
  Next we'll deal with the American Meta-comma, quickly replacing the colon, semi-colon, and period. Watch out for the elusive trailing delimiter comma, previously found delimiting a sub-clause but so extinct as to be completely absent on-line.
