(I posted this by mistake in another thread; I meant to start my own.)
I saw this sign in the local gym last night.
TENNIS NOTICE
All Gary's Lesson's.
All Gary's lessons are cancelled from Saturday 20th March-27th March.
Saturday lessons 20th March 8:30-11:30am as normal.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
Would it have been wrong to have crossed out the word 'inconvenience' and written in 'incoherence'?
I have so many questions. Why use the possessive 's in the first line if you get it right in the second line? Why not address the notice to 'Gary's Students'? Are the 8:30-11:30 lessons with Gary? If they are, then you shouldn't say all his lessons on that date are cancelled (because they aren't). If those lessons aren't with Gary, why are they mentioned in this notice to Gary's students?
Why do I care? I don't play tennis!
