This has been doing my head in. Is it cause there isn't a question mark in the question?

punctuation

OP posts:

Thanks

jorange5 · 03/12/2007 13:41

is it the words rather than the letters or was that an accidental mistake?

Thanks

jorange5 · 03/12/2007 13:42

SevenSwansASlouching · 03/12/2007 13:43

No apostrophe in What's

Thanks

ComeOVeneer · 03/12/2007 13:44

RTKanga have you spotted the error in my version?

Thanks

belgo · 03/12/2007 13:44

I've got it

Thanks

castille · 03/12/2007 13:45

Spotted the mistake before I read the whole thing, thought "tut tut, and in Pendants' Corner, too"

Then it took me ages to realise... doh

Thanks

sparklyjen · 03/12/2007 13:45

If it's the missing apotrophe then that's rubbish.

Thanks
