argh

Here for the answer....
ETA - I see it now 🤣

I am raging.

Grocer's apostrophe? Perhaps as former grocers they have a dispensation?

PashaMinaMio · Yesterday 09:02

There are more than one “Magic Times”blooms in the bunch.

So Magic Times Roses (plural) sounds ok to me.
Not sure what you’re trying to highlight. Enlighten us.

Oh! Got it. Zoomed in …, saw the apostrophe!

That's not just any apostrophe ...

🤣 beat me to it!!

GenialHarrietGrouty · Yesterday 09:15

That should be a criminal offence.

PickAChew · Yesterday 09:16

You always get that added extra from M&S.

Oh I don’t know people. Could the rose bush singular have been bred specifically for M&S. Then the Roses plural are in the bouquet.

By answering this I really am doing anything to avoid doing something productive this day😆

That still wouldn't justify the rogue apostrophe.

That's not just an apostrophe...it's an M&S apostrophe....

Or should it be "...its an M&S apostrophe..." ?

In my head I am hearing it as a mathematical equation,

Magic x Roses

I thought the Grocer's, apostrophe was with regard to plurals.

ManyAardvarks · Yesterday 13:48

@grumpygrape oh I thought it was just random apostrophies, but you are likely right as that makes sense - 1lb of banana's

grumpygrape · Yesterday 14:18

That's definitely my understanding and grocers wouldn't be likely to use the other apostrophe options, correctly or incorrectly.

No!
