Just back from having my flu jab in a large, chain pharmacy. When I was ushered into the wee room for the stabbing, I was glad there was something to distract me.

A large cupboard marked: Diabete's.

Jeezo.

That’s where Diabete, the pharmacy assistant, keeps her gym kit.

Diabete's a lovely woman. She has swishy hair and a kind voice.

Why is Diabete so special that she gets her own cupboard? Her colleague Arthiti didn't seem to get that treatment.

I spotted an Allergie (no 's') poster in a very large chain pharmacy. Could they be friends?

Diabete has ‘epidemic’ status. So she gets whatever cupboard she wants.

Arthriti and Bursiti are twins who share the same inflammatory views. They don't deserve cupboards.

And let's not get started on their cousin, Cystiti.

My friend and fellow pedant refer to this as apostrophe-itis. My MIL used to put them in all over the place so I asked her why she did it. She said that if she didn't know if something needed an apostrophe or not, she thought it was better to put one in Hmm

Diabetes is crap?
