I removed two apostrophies....

[Tabby1963]

... from boards outside two shops when I was visiting daughter in Aberdeen.

I was very subtle, she stood in the way so I could do a quick swipe (whiteboards). Made my day because often I cannot access these little blighters to remove them.

It is so glaringly obvious that they should not be there. Sometimes official signage has them! Aaarrgghhh!

[sneezecakesmum]

Apostrophy geurillas salute you!

[dramajustfollowsme]

Excellent! I'm in Aberdeen. You have just saved me a job.

[ThePuffyShirt]

Excellent, well done.

I have been known to do this myself.

In Devon, over the summer, I rubbed out an entire 'inflateables' from a blackboard outside a shop.

[jasmine31]

Isn't it apostrophe(s)?!

[AgentProvocateur]

Apostrophes.

[AgentProvocateur]

Ooh, Jasmine31 beat me to it.

[SconeRhymesWithGone]

Two apostrophes in one day; that is very impressive. I did that once in my son's school on parents' night and managed to smear the ink and got caught. There is a technique to it, and it definitely helps to have an accomplice.

With fear of outing myself, this must be said:

There is a sandwich shop that I drive past on occasion, and the use of apostrophe makes me any to the point of almost causing criminal damage to eradicate it; it is on the signage over the shop, on the window panes, and elsewhere so I can't just wipe it off. It is:

Suttons Snax's.

Yep. That is right, it is not a typo on my part.

[Tabby1963]

Isn't it apostrophe(s)?!

Well done Jasmine and Agent for spotting that deliberate error :D

[MirandaGoshawk]

It's Muphry's Law innit

[AgentProvocateur]

You just proved it, Miranda!

[ErrolTheDragon]

No, she didn't prove it, she linked to it.

Love Muphry's Law

[AgentProvocateur]

Ha! No, I just proved it because I thought it was a typo.

[ErrolTheDragon]

Bazinga!

[MirandaGoshawk]

Now my head is spinning!

[MirandaWest]

There's an it's near me that I would like to deal with. May require tipex and the cover of night though.

Is it a trap or should I point out that there's a typo on that web page???

[MirandaGoshawk]

That article is brilliant. But what's the typo - just a speech mark missing from in front of 'which'? Couldn't see any others not that I looked very hard, you understand.

[prism]

Yes that's it. But I do wonder if it's a trap for the over-zealous pendant. (Can there be such a thing?)

[SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius]

Coughcoughguerillascoughcough.

[ErrolTheDragon]

prism...oh, I do like hanging around with over-zealous pendants.

[MirandaGoshawk]

It's benign though. Think of it as like train spotting or stamp collecting. Should there be hyphens in there?
