³This is probably one of the strangest and most puzzling problems we
have had with bats,² said Paul Cryan, a bat ecologist with the United
States Geological Survey. ³It¹s really startling that we¹ve not come up
with a smoking gun yet.²
Merlin Tuttle, the president of Bat Conservation International, an
education and research group in Austin, Tex., said: ³So far as we can
tell at this point, this may be the most serious threat to North
American bats we¹ve experienced in recorded history. ³It definitely
warrants immediate and careful attention.²

It drives me "bats" to read headers with the "greengrocer's
apostrophe".

Only consolation is that they misused it way back in Shakespeare's
time as well.

Punctuation" by Lynne Truss, then you can be insufferably persnickety;-)
