Grocer's Apostrophes...

Post by GG. »

Just noticed we have nestling away in our sub-header. Can it be expunged (or was it deliberate :lol: )?

ETA: pictures of other comedy examples also welcome...

I am amused by the idea that with AI, EVs may become sentient property owning beings from whom we would lease chattels and pay deference to them as benevolent feudal overlords of humanity (whilst being thrilled in doing so). As ever, we are prophetic on this forum.

Is it a reference to Ian Eveleigh, aka Ev, once of this forum but from quite a while ago actually employed by the mag?

Took me ages to find what you’re on about as it’s not visible with my phone in portrait.
How about not having a sig at all?

Apostrophe abuse is a pet peeve of mine. How difficult is it to understand the difference between indicating a plural or a possessive?
