The most shocking use of apostrophe ever.

Block's J&K

at a university!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
help me word a strong e-mail to the dean please.

Just get out your tippex!

What's J&K?

I'd guess they were the blocks in the university, in alphabetical order

oh dear - the grocers' apostrophe - is it a fairly new university?

Dear Dean
If you wish your University to keep its English department open, I suggest you get someone to change this notice, as anyone from the QAA who sees it will be most unimpressed with the lack of literacy on site.

That help?

Just print off the comments which are sure to come pouring onto this thread, and slap down in front of him, or the head of English.

Oh I see. Like in Halls.

I'd like to reassure you that a janitor is responsible for that sign, but I can't.

I'm always reading posts on mn from teachers (or alleged teachers) and they are peppered with mistakes.

I think only uptight minnies spell and punctuate well these days. The rest of society says "punctuation stifles my creativity and the flow of my genius man".

get a large red marker pen and indulge in a spot of graffiti - I suggest circling the offending apostrophe and writing "OH DEAR, MUST TRY HARDER" in big red letters on the sign.*

Please note this advice is for comedic purposes only as neither Mumsnet nor theyoungvisiter advocates criminal damage.

Better still, take a photo of the offending sign, photoshop what theyoungvisiter said onto the photo and then post copies of it all around the Dean's and other administrative types' offices.

Margot, don't you mean

"punchua puntuatio punctiat all that stuff stifles my creativity and the flow of my jean gien genious man".

Margot, don't you mean

"punchua puntuatio punctiat all that stuff stifles my creativity and the flow of my jean gien genious? man".

pmsl theyoungvisiter!

thumbwitch - "oh dear - the grocers' apostrophe - is it a fairly new university?"

Eh? I've seen worse from Oxford graduates!

theyoungvisitor - PMSL!!

oh graduates, yes, I grant you! But I would expect the High-Ups at Oxford etc. to keep a better eye on things, wouldn't you?

so it needs pointing out to someone then? am liking the photo's photos' pictures on noticeboards idea.

thumbwitch - no, they're not much better these days!

Oh dear - how the mighty are fallen!
