In response to Why can American's get ESL jobs in Europe - ESL discussion ((Ms.) Kristen Schmitt)

Maybe it's because they don't know where to place their apostrophes.

Americans = a group of American people
(ie. "Some Americans go overseas with the expectation that their "big American" status will land them God knows what kind of royal treatment, but when something doesn't go their way, they come cry about on ESL boards.")

American's = belonging to an American
(ie. "An American's attitude towards going abroad can be quite annoying")

Jeez.
