<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pat P, post: 508267, member: 201&quot;]RE &quot;1830&#039;s&quot; I&#039;m on the fence on this, but think there are some instances where it sort of kind of makes sense to use an apostrophe. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you&#039;re writing &quot;It was manufactured in the 1830s&quot; then inserting an apostrophe would be incorrect. But if you&#039;re writing &quot;It&#039;s an 1830&#039;s work of art&quot; it&#039;s like saying the &quot;work of art belongs to the 1830s&quot; which makes it somewhat possessive, which maybe makes the apostrophe appropriate.</p><p><br /></p><p>I haven&#039;t looked up any rules about this, just a random thought... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
