Mnhq - I am pleading with you. Please can we have a sticky thread to remind everybody about rogue apostrophe's. Especially in thread title's. Please?

Ooh please don't! I am perfectly well educated and have an A for English O'level - but even my grammar slips after 2 glasses of chardonnay! I would be shunned on MN!

Bibbity your being BU,
Just because some poster's have issue's with they're grammer,

oh balls to an apostrophe sticky. I shove them in all over the shop and folk still get my drift.

No No what we ACTUALLY need is a sticky that reads

Please Note: Poo = Shit. Pooh = yellow bear with very little brain.

I'd like to nominate myself for the prima donna of apostrophe-rage.

Despite (or perhaps because of) having too many things to do, I was so enraged by the apostrophe-abuse perpetuated by my local Sainsburys, that I insisted on walking around the shop with the hapless manager pointing out all the horrors his shop had perpetuated.

This was some years ago, but still, in retrospect, utterly nutty ...

I believe apostrophe salad does form one of your five a day

Quattro I am in awe.

You are my hero.

I would so love to point out grammatical errors in shops but am not brave enough.

hands over polish for the cleaning of your halo

thats Mr. Sheen, not the population of Poland.

this is self preening, back door bragging.

well done, you're great at grammar - yes yes we all know

grumpy old woman

Oh do get over yourself.

Quattro - do you mean Sainsbury's?

we don't want to remind people. It will just cause bad feeling (see above).

we want someone to have a license to go into the thread titles and correct the apostrophes very quietly, without telling anyone.

(did I spell license correctly?)

why not ban the appstrophes all together? then there would really be not trouble at all. Dont you think it is far less annoying for them to be missing then for them to be there when not supposed to be and there in wrong places?

Please don't

Seth you never answered my historical re-enactments camping thread.

When in doubt leave them out!

It is called Mumsnet not Grammartestnet.

If there are any pedants on the thread, should the wheels on the bus go around and around or round and round?

Thank's

'round and 'round

Oh I am very relaxed about typos and grammatical errors and spelling mistakes. I don't consider myself a pedant at all.

But rogue apostrophes are just inexcusable. And make the poster look ignorant, frankly.

I'll be having all those extra apostrophes, if you don't mind.

Now move along. Nothing to see.

oi
op
you startin'?
