Grocer's apostrophe in M&S of all places?!

[elsiepiddock]

I have just seen a dirty great sign in my local M&S for 'Cami's'.

This is quite wrong, non?

No - short for camiknickers, thus fine.

But bras is short for brassieres, why not apostrophe there?

No not fine - it's a plural, and 'cami' is accepted as a word in its own right through familiarity of use.
Wrong wrong wrong.

Good point re. bras - I couldn't think of a similar example.

Thanks Nontoxic, I KNEW I was right

Similarly, thank's is incorrect and I have already complained to M&S about some of their cards being printed with that.

It's so depressing but more and more familiar. Who do you complain to?

Do their cards really say 'thank's'??? That's apalling!

Or even appalling, lindenlass

Actually, thank's is a disgrace.

YES!! Their little packs of thank you cards - aimed at children.

I complained to them about that one, as even my 6yr old ds noticed it (comes of having a pedant as a mum).

rofl - I did it! I did a typo in pedants' corner! Better than typing apauling, which is my personal bugbear!
