B

It's a bit weird though.

LordEmsworth · 05/02/2022 10:04

If you're trying to say "valentine is launching" then B. Sounds like a euphemism though ...

mynameiscalypso · 05/02/2022 10:05

Valentine's what is launching tonight? I know launching can act as a noun but it feels like it's missing one.

AliMonkey · 05/02/2022 10:05

Depends what you are launching - if you’re sending everyone’s partners into space then A is right. Assuming you are in fact launching your Valentine’s Day offers or similar then B is better. But really you need a noun after Valentine’s, such as Day or card or meal or offer or preferably both eg Valentine’s Day cards launching today.

Is Valentine launching something? Or are you launching Valentine?

SuspiciousHumanoid · 05/02/2022 10:06

B

What’s the context? It’s incomplete currently.

HunkyPunk · 05/02/2022 10:09

B, assuming ‘Valentine’s’ is shorthand for Valentine’s Day? What’s being launched?

This. Is 'launch' a good word to use? It sounds too like 'lunch'. Besides, aren't you a bit late ... the shops have moved on to Mothering Sunday and Easter.Grin

How can Valentine's weekend be launching tonight? Confused

Do you mean Valentine's weekend bookings launching tonight?

I'd say that.
