Please can someone confirm this is wrong! There's a wedding company with this name in my town and I'm getting really angry about it 🤬

Reminds me of a bridal dress shop in the area where I used to live called “Je Fais” which does mean “I do” in French but you wouldn’t put it like that in your wedding vows.

'Je le veux' would be a better name.

There used to be a hairdressers' I passed every day called Hair Gem's, with a little gem as the apostrophe. Every time I saw it I hoped the owner was called Gemma.

Not strictly a Pedants’ corner issue, but this reminded me of a sewing/garment repair shop which used to be in my town, called ’A Stitch for Everything’, which I always thought was a bit clunky. I often wondered why not something more catchy like ‘A Stitch in Time’, ‘Stitch This’ or ‘Let’s Stitch You Up’ (well, maybe not the last one!)

And that’s reminded me of a hairdressers on the first floor of a building over another shop. It’s called A Kut Above. wtf ‘Kut’? - it spoils the pun, and looks a bit silly.
