rock-'n'-roll

Post Reply New Topic

This is an old long name for a type of music. It has largely been replaced by the shorter "rock". It is properly written "rock-'n'-roll" but one or both of the apostrophes are often left out.

Do you have a point to make?

It is just that I have seen "rock-'n-roll" and "rock-n'-roll" written. People are uncertain about where to put an apostrophe. The answer is that there are supposed to be two apostrophes one before and one after the "n".

Ain’t noise pollution..

Yes, the term "rock-n-roll" seems to be nearing extinction. Nowadays it is called "rock".
