The Grammar Vigilante

[Hassled]

BBC news story. He roams the streets of Bristol at night, hunting down rogue apostrophes. That's my kind of man.

Mine too.

Yes!

He spoils it for me. I get an inner glow of smug superiority whenever I see a howler.

That's a good point - if he rids the world of rogue apostrophes, we'll have nothing to purse our lips and tut about. I'll hold off on making him a cape.

'the banksy of grammar' they called him!

If I didn't have children I'd probably do something like this.

But I do, so I'm too tired.

I was sat behind a van with a sicker along the lines of 'I'm fat but your ugly'. As I passed I had to yell out the window "your ugly what? WHAT??"

:o

I thought of you all when I saw this!

I just thought I would leave this............

10/10

I got 9/10, but I am off ill from work. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

9/10, but I disagree, they said it must be Jesus' hat, and not Jesus's hat, and technically either are correct.

Totally agree Steppemum!

This was on the news last night. He is amazing, he carefully colour matches the paint to cover up wrong ones! He has a sponge print apostrophe on the end of a stick to mark in new ones!

The BBC site has an apostrophe quiz. I'm a good girl, I got 10/10.

I agree about Jesus's apostrophe - but I was fairly sure that they wouldn't. So I gave them what they wanted, even though it made my teeth itch.

I had a Bible bashing teacher at primary so know all about Jesus and his apostrophe.

Didn't he have 12?

I saw this in FB earlier - love it

How I'd love to be the equivalent on here. I could dash onto a thread, correct all the would of/could ofs and be gone under cover of virtual darkness.
