If so, would you have a word with your fellows about APOSTROPHES, please?

In yesterday's i I came across:

"Thirty years ago, after all, Mrs Thatcher had big advantages over those successors of their's who think her's and Geoffrey Howe's blueprint is the one to follow"

(my italics)

I love the i, am really impressed with the concept (and the price Wink) and most of the content, but PLEASE, no more greengrocers' apostrophes!!! (There was another, too, yesterday, but I can't remember where & can't be arsed to track it down)

(incidentally, on the Indie website \link{http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/commentators/matthew-norman/matthew-norman-osbornes-prescription-could-soon-turn-into-his-epitaph-2201254.html"their's" has now been corrected to "theirs" but "her's" is still there)} Shock

Plus,

Why does The Independent Online use a font that makes it look like some spotty blogster's site?

Makes me itchy whenever I see it.

Ponders · 03/02/2011 22:04

oh, I don't mind the font (maybe I don't read enough spotty blogs)

but if that bugs you Eleison, & the apostrophes bug me, that's 2 readers - just from here, just this evening - who could potentially be put off the content of i by the style.

See to it, please, guys Grin
