Can someone provide a resource for me on proper uses of apostrophes?

1970s
"Apostrophe has two main functions: it marks omissions; and it assists in marking the possessives of all nouns and many pronouns. (In strictly limited cases, it is sometimes also allowed to assist in marking plurals, but most authorities are now against such usage)"

Unless it would be confusing without it, you do NOT use an apostrophe in a plural. so "1970s" without the apostrophe.

1970s
A great book on this is called "Eats, Shoots and Leaves" by Lynne Truss. It was a recent best seller and is available at any bookstore or Amazon.com.
Note: Truss likes 1970s, but she states that 1970's "still applies in America" (p.46).

There is an 'Apostrophe Protection Society', apparently (!)
