What a travesty

When the word 'travesty' is used in place of 'tragedy', 'tragedy' gets very jealous. Just because 'travesty' looks and sounds so much like 'tragedy', doesn't mean 'travesty' should get all the credit. 'Travesty' hasn't worked one goddamn day in its life, I tell you. Just ripping people off left and right.

One could say that 'travesty' is a travesty...of 'tragedy'.

TRAVESTY: any grotesque or debased likeness or imitation

Jealous words

If you routinely put an apostrophe in the possessive form of "its", MAKE SURE you put it in the other possessives, too. For example, "their's", "her's", and "hi's". They'll be jealous that they don't also have an extra arm growing out of their forehead. It's just not fair, folks.
