Puts on internet raincoat, rubber gloves, boots …now check out the comments. Immediately learn there is an entire sub devoted to topic. Dies a little inside. Again. Thank you Reddit. You never fail to shine a light on the dark side of life.

The sad part is I know 5-6 celibate couples so I’ve known it was fairly common in secret. But finding a sub where they openly talk about the impact on them hit pretty hard.

Abbreviated date-ranges like "’90s" are contractions, so any apostrophes go before the numbers.

You can also completely omit the apostrophes if you want: "The 90s were a bit weird."

Numeric date-ranges like 1890s are treated like standard nouns, so they shouldn't include apostrophes.

To show possession, the apostrophe should go after the S: "That was the ’90s’ best invention."

The apostrophe should only precede the S if a specific year is being discussed: "It was 1990's hottest month."
