One for the pedants… Joules t-shirt

I’m not a native English speaker but… this is wrong, right? Or can it be right? I thought apostrophes were just for possession or omission, and I can’t imagine Joules making a mistake, so what am I missing?

Bees are plural, so no apostrophe. Does no one proof read any more?

FrancescaContini · 18/05/2022 08:20

OMG 😳

Bluevelvetsofa · 18/05/2022 08:20

Should have said- you’re right, they’re wrong.

ssd · 18/05/2022 08:20

Its bees you're right

They love a bloody bee down at joules

ShirleyPhallus · 18/05/2022 08:20

No that’s wrong, it should be:

Plant The’se 4 the Bee’s

You're not missing anything!

waterlego · 18/05/2022 08:21

I don’t think you’re missing anything. It’s a mistake, which as you say is surprising given that they position themselves as a good quality brand!

ChiefPearlClutcher · 18/05/2022 08:22

But it made it to the website!
Didn’t anybody ask or check?
So many questions

The only way it could possibly work would be if the sentence finished on the back of the T-shirt. Which presumably it doesn’t.

Whenever a company makes an obvious mistake like that it makes me wonder what else they’re failing to check up on.

Clawdy · 18/05/2022 08:29

So obvious, how could it have got through without someone noticing? 😕

CeeceeBloomingdale · 18/05/2022 08:32

Oh dear!

BringMeTea · 18/05/2022 08:35

Shocking. Indicator of how shitty Joules quality is these days.

BringMeTea · 18/05/2022 08:36

Sorry, Joules'. 😂

Hollygolucky88 · 18/05/2022 08:52

For the bee’s what?

Hollygolucky88 · 18/05/2022 08:52

Knees?

orangeisthenewpuce · 18/05/2022 08:53

Oh dear

Favouritefruits · 18/05/2022 09:47

Well, it’ll be in the sale now with that mistake, grab yourself a bargain tomorrow!

ClawedButler · 18/05/2022 09:53

I just couldn't wear a t-shirt with that mistake on.

Petty? Yes.

But I just saw the word "pedants" in the thread title and knew I would be among my people here. Grin

It gets worse - a common response to questions on the website is 'Thanks' for getting in touch.'

Misplaced apostrophes abound!
