Tell you what, if he ever decides to go into the franchise business, I'd sign up........and I suspect another here might too. ;D ;D ;D

Can we expand it to shop signs as well? And finally rid the country of the rogue apostrophe?

I say tomatoes, you say tomato's.....

I'd sign up. I'd like to herd all the apostrophes together and then redistribute them properly according to need. I'd do the same for other punctuation marks too, of course. I might write down the great plan and call it a Comma-ist Manifesto. Of course, that might entail falling out with a lot of greengrocers and hospitals and probably lot's of other thing's, so it would be wise to stock up on basic foodstuffs before going into action. Or foodstuff's, perhap's.

Oh dear. I just went and picked up Lynne Truss's Eats Shoots and Leaves so that's me happily distracted for a while. You'll have to start the revolution without me.

Hurray for Grammar Man!!

This is one of the reasons I despise the internet. It is promoting, at breakneck speed, the end of all literacy; all notions of spelling, all notions of punctuation and all notions of grammar. It absolutely appalls me.

Private Eye's column "From the Message Boards" has got it exactly right.
