YSK You aren’t supposed to use apostrophes to pluralize years.

It’s 1900s, not 1900’s. You only use an apostrophe when you’re omitting the first two digits: ‘90s, not 90’s or ‘90’s.

Why YSK: It’s an incredibly common error and can detract from academic writing as it is factually incorrect punctuation.

“Factually incorrect” is used when referring to a statement of fact (or the lack of), not incorrect punctuation, to be fair. 🤦🏼‍♂️
