Donald Trump was booed by fans at the 2025 U.S. Open Sunday in New York. ABC aired the crowd reaction after the USTA requested media partners censor 'disruptions.'
That came after the United States Tennis Association sent a memo to media partners requesting that they censor “disruptions or reactions” in response to Trump. “We ask all broadcasters to refrain from showcasing any disruptions or reactions in response to the President’s attendance in any capacity,” the USTA said in the memo.
It’s funny to read yesterday’s headline, aka this quote, and then read today’s headline. Everyone is going to boo him tomorrow, please don’t talk about it. He was in fact boo’ed, let’s talk about it.
Basically apostrophes are never used to separate a word from a normal suffix in this kind of novel or unusual construction. Pretty much just use apostrophes for contractions and (most) possessives. Example: 90s, not 90’s.
'90s is a contraction of 1990s, or whatever other century’s tenth decade is implied. So the apostrophe belongs as an example of a contraction or possessive :)
Just 90s if it’s a reference to someone’s age. And the apostrophe for referencing the 90s era is optional outside of formal writing and a dash can also be used e.g.; 90s-music depending on context.
Cowards.
Nice to see the US Tennis Association bending over preemptively.

I guess funny is the wrong word. Insanity?
This is what happens when you involve yourself in someone’s war against reality and rational thinking
It’s just “booed”. Really-really.
That’s good to know. It just looked so weird. I knew what I wrote was also weird, but it felt less weird.

So if you said you were a 90’s child, wouldn’t that be okay? (As you are a child of/possessed by the 90s) A nineties’ child, if you will?
In this case, '90s would be more appropriate because you’re removing the first half of the year
And, actually, I believe it’s ‘90s! So there is one, it’s right in front.

True true.
But your apostrophe is upside down (it became a curved single-open-quote in your version). It’s supposed to be this way:
