Haha! That's awesome!
So - I've always been confused. When you say the sentence "There's two n's in that word", does the apostrophe belong, or not? D:

No. The apostrophe is *never* used to indicate a plural.

And technically, it should be "There are two" not "There's (is) two"

If you want, to make it a bit clearer, I usually write "There are two 'n's in that word". Because those aren't apostrophes of course, they're inverted commas, quotation marks, whatever... it indicates the letter n rather than "ns" which could be confusing :P

Make sense?

Glad you like the stamp!! :D
