Thank you

We have a pub near us called The Worlds End. Bothers me every time I have to drive past it. Especially because I don’t know where the apostrophe would go! Is it the end of one world? Or the end of all worlds? Not only is it a grammatical error, it’s a philosophical debate too!

chessieA small piece of black gaffer tape in the dead of night might be indicated - depending on your view of what’s right here? It’s been known.
I often walk along a road which raises lots of apostrophe uncertainties. Over the years (!) I’ve noticed someone using chewing gum on a street sign to create an apostrophe. It’s cleaned off every now and then but reappears.
It is honestly not me, but I do approve.

Er

This isn’t grammar, it’s punctuation.

Er

This isn’t grammar, it’s punctuation.

Or one might argue that the apostrophe rules for possessives fall under the heading of English grammar rules and usage. The genitive is not punctuation.

I was given a life membership of The Apostrophe Protection Society a long time ago due to my ‘interest’ in apostrophes. A real thing. The membership was a semi-serious semi-rueful/jesting present.

If it is still going (unsure) I would have to return my badge and renounce my credentials as a result of this thread. I would bring the APS into disrepute if i did not.
This example always makes me slightly uneasy and I end up rewriting the sentence where possible. I would have gone for 1, but been uncertain and a bit wobbly about it.
Humbling and thought provoking.

Nah you’re a member no more. The society bit the dust in 2019. I remember hearing about it on the news and looked it up. www.apostrophe.org.uk/

So much for life membership.... a bit like lifetime guarantees.

Loving the chewing gum apostrophe!

Or might I suggest ‘lifetime’s guarantee’ but I understand you were broadening it out and beyond my lifetime and this guarantee.
As I am no longer a member (whew!) perhap’s Ill have less worrie’s’ about’t all?

Yup knock yourself out!
