Jolly bad show

What sort of example does it set to visitor's of this sight when the forums' title has it's apostrophe in the wrong place?

This post has been inspired by a menu that I saw in a greasy spoon caff today.

But it's in the right place, isn't it?

But it is! Or am I missing something?

Naughty Blenks - it's in the right place. No apostrophe baiting please. :P

I've just seen it. You mean the apostrophes in your own post. Forums' rather than forum's etc. Sorry, Griff beat me to it.

I thought he meant Writers' Discussion, hence my confusion.

Thats' OK by me A

The menu was:

Fried egg and chip's
Sausage and chip's

And then for some reason

Sausage, egg, chips and bean's

Gave me a good ol chuckle it did.

I couldn't imagine Aaron would let an apostrophe catastrophe be seen in his forums

:D :D :D

He got me first time. And you of masterly crypticism too, Badge. :)

It's one of my pet peeves, the wandering apostrophe, Blenks. I told an American fast food chain they'd wasted thousands printing out a typo all over their merchandise. Did they appreciate it? No.

I know it's in the right place. Oh God what have I started....

It's one of mine too SlagA but have to say that when I was first writing I was dire at getting it right.

I once had a script editor bollock me for it and I felt as small as a very small thing that was very small indeed

Yes, but.... still confused! I know there were lots of deliberate errors in the first post but that wasn't what you were referring to was it Blenk? Er? Help!

I'm off to get some beer's in.

If you delete this thread now everyone will think it was all apostrephal.

Laughing out loud

No I was just being a silly Billy Badge and having some fun. I though it might draw Aaron out with a pithy comment

All I get from Aaron is a pity comment. Which I suppose is better than the more famous alternative.
:O
