My dd1 (7) recently announced on a crowded train, whilst reading a newspaper, "Mummy...look! I can't believe it - they've missed out an apostrophe to show possession in this sentence. How can a journalist, who actually gets paid to write articles, make such a basic error? It's a disgrace!"
She said this in a very loud voice with a genuine expression of disgust. I think I made a beetroot look anaemic!
