Poll Results 67

Here was the question:

"
Which punctuation mark do you think takes the most abuse?"

Apostrophe
20 (22%)
Colon
2 (2%)
Comma
41 (46%)
Dash
1 (1%)
Exclamation Point
16 (17%)
Parentheses
0 (0%)
Period
3 (3%)
Quotation Marks
2 (2%)
Semicolon
4 (4%)

It seems that the comma won, but I still feel it's the apostrophe.
