Apostrophes and You
I've noticed that the incorrect use of apostrophes is extremely common here (Solo'd, duo'd, etc.) Is that a thing on these boards or a genuine misuse of punctuation? I'm not bashing or language-shaming, but I am certainly intrigued.

apostrophe is used in place of omitted letters.
please tell us more about how to properly punctuate made up words. | ||

You bet! They are often used in place of omitted letters such as do not becoming don't. I do not believe they are intended to shorten a past tense word.
That said, duoed is indeed not a human word. Soloed, however, is. Again, I am just curious about this message board phenomenon. | ||

While we're on the topic of grammar, it's "would have" or "would've," not "would of."
Would of is NOT A THING
