100-word rant: Students who write 27’ instead of ‘27 should be rescinded

Graphic by Sam Bai

This is a call to action for all seniors to put the apostrophe in front of the 27 instead of after when putting your future university on social media.

If you commit to a university, surely you would be intelligent enough to know that the apostrophe when addressing a year comes before the year, not after — right? Wrong.

As senior class president (they made me put this), I have been burdened with the agony that comes alongside scrolling past one of my peer’s Instagram profiles and seeing yet another [insert college] Class of 27’ post. No, you are most definitely not enrolled at Harvard as the graduating class of 2720.

Call to action: If you see someone’s Instagram bio with 27’ in reference to their graduating class, please take all necessary measures to screenshot it as evidence of tomfoolery and email the admissions office of their school demanding they be rescinded (Disclaimer: Don’t actually do this).
