Hi, Hope you enjoy my horrid 'Whoops Apostrophe' findings - WHOOP'S in the title for the humour; ...! in the title as there are lots of other errors in here, shock!
Apostrophe errors are my favourite horror, but I have 'snapped' so many others...and have 'chaptered' them, to file similar types of errors together. I suppose that you could say some spelling errors are more typesetting mistakes...but hey somebody's to blame in there, every time!
Plenty more in my mobile phone's memory, and every day I see and capture more...for posterity!? In shop windows, in cafes, in businesses, in pubs; on cars, vans, on the TV...in Scotland, England, Ireland; in Amsterdam recently, and all over Europe ('and' Turkey!). Australia...
Thought long and hard about adding witty and / or informative 'captions' under many of the images, especially as regards locations; but in the final analysis decided to let the visual nature of the 'humour' speak for itself!
And oh I know it's our modern world's 'fault' really, really? Technology - texting, e-mails, Facebook...leads to phonetic spellings and not 'bothering' with Capital letters... Mobile phones especially - I've got to press at least 6 times to even get to an '!
Apostrophes don't seem even to be taught anymore either, certainly not in any continuous form.
Smile, and learn?
