It’s so quiet around here, I thought I’d break away from crosswords for a few minutes. (Sorry if I offend Mrs. Grundy)
I’m sick and tired of seeing adverts etc. where the apostrophe is incorrectly placed, simply missing or the spelling is quite incorrect!
Occasionally, I take the trouble to point it out to the advertiser because, in my view, it makes them look silly. It usually falls on deaf ears though, because for some 2 years a local garden centre has had “spa’s for sale”.
Just up the road from me they have “Potato’s for sale” and next door to that we have “Egg’s for sale” and so on.
My question to you is, should we just accept that our language is changing (again) and get on with it?
