It is Clarks not Clarkes.

That is all. I have p.m.t. As you were.

Could be worse. You could have texted me.
ahh.

What's wrong with texted?

Its TEXT goddamit!

Not in the past tense, surely?

isn't it Clarks' ??

hatwoman.

Don't get me started on Lands' End (sic)...

no, hatwoman. The apostrophe at the end signals ownership, which in this context is wrong. And text, as in 'I sent a text today', or, He sent me a text yesterday'.
NOT 'He texted me'. Yuck!

PMT too btw.
And Im cold.

Perfectly fine to conjugate "text" as a verb IMO.

What really annoys me is when you see "he text me".

No PMT, just picky and moody anyway!

well yes. I would have thought that Clarks' was short for Clarks' Shoes or Clarks' Shoeshop. And given that the second word has been dropped it can be a double function apostrophe (possession and ommission)

Strictly, yes hatwoman. But most brands drop their apostrophes surely.

Oh just do sod off, the lot of you.

Have you noticed that the verb "text" is gradually turning into "tex". So you now hear:

He texed (text?) me yesterday
He texes me every day.

I suppose it was bound to happen. "She texts" is a bit consonant-y to say.

Slopes off back to shed....
