The recent film with Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullock also put another nail of death into the apostrophe coffin - Two Weeks Notice.
Bring back formal grammar lessons!
Woman without man, is nothing!
Get yer eyeballs round that!
Do I have to?!
reminds me of:
nut screws washer and bolts
Sounds like a one night stand!
mmmmmmmmmwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!
Perhaps it stems from needing to be precise about that 10k time. After all, the Pb is the time taken for me do do the exact distance not from when someone fired the gun. So that's 42:40 not 42:43, period.
Now just have to drop this on my wish list too.
Must be a bird and blokes who are too in touch with their feminine side thing.
(just kidding about the apostrophes, honest!)
Another book for my Amazon wish list. Fewer or less? Where's my soapbox?
At my first job I sat next to the Stationary Cupboard... which was on wheels. I always wondered about that...
... and another thing... "I should of". What's that all about, eh?!
I saw a notice in the grocer's the other day (always the best place for flying apostrophes, I find):
"Tomato's"
The more I thought about it, the more confused I became over whether or not that was in fact correct use of an apostrophe. After all, the apostrophe does indeed represent an elision, but I'm not entirely sure that it's allowed within a single word!
Anyway, I decided not to think about it much longer, because I realised that everyone in the queue was bypassing me as I pondered the grammatical accuracy of the sign - which, to be honest, was probably unneccesary in the first place. I think most people could have worked out that those shiny red round things with green spiders on top were tomatoes. I only went in for a banana for breakfast...
