Apostrophe pedant cranked up a notch

[mrsmaltesers]

i was mooching on the internet this a.m.... Lola's cupcakes website has a bit called "extras" except they have spelt it "extra's" so i have emailed them to tell them they don't need an apostrophe as it's not a possessive thing etc etc.

No, I am not pre menstrual and yes, I would love a cupcake.

They haven't changed it yet ... Do you think they will or should I have tried to not let it wind me up ... (admittedly I was waiting for a cream slice delivery by DH and was feeling a bit fractious .... )

Or "fractiou's", as some might have it.

I'm with you, si'ster.

Oooh yes, just seen it and you were right to tell them!

All that cream makes me feel sick, though. Tell them that, too, if you write again!

I did mention that those cupcakes LOOKED delicious ... I.e. I have never had one. Hint hint.

Proofreading in return for cupcakes... now there's an idea.

Since we are being pedantic I must point out that you have posted on "Am I Being Unreasonable?" without asking us if you are being unreasonable.

I do it whenever i notice an error like that.
it looks unprofessional.

Give them until Monday evening - they might be on auto on the weekend.

.... Was ibu then

You may want to look at your own abilities (or lack of) before being so critical of others.

no, yanbu

Ouch ChippingInLovesEasterEggs.

YANBU - you have done the business a favour - as nickel says it looks very unprofessional.

I agree with Chipping.

Those in glass houses...

We need an AIBP topic. :o

Good for you. I always feel like telling the website owners when I notice mistakes but I cba always forget.

YANBU.

OP you would be hailed as a heroine in pedants' corner!

If they didn't make the site themselves it will probably take a while for them to get whoever did to correct it.

I didn't know there was a pedants corner. Joyous!!! Thanks.
