Morrisons Filling Station in the Snow, Dumbarton

Let's fight to preserve the apostrophe

Morrisons - started by William Morrison - doesn’t have one. Nor does Boots, again founded by an individual. Bettys lost its apostrophe in 1965 - the reason, according to the company website, having been ‘long forgotten’. Quoted from www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/18077343.fight-preserve-apostrophe/.

I have to agree with you over the use and misuse of the apostrophe. It drives me crazy, especially when it's misused on official documents. Miss Sturrock would be turning in her grave. LOL

Thanks, Amelia. If today's teachers were like Helen Sturrock, we wouldn't be having this conversation. LOL. Best wishes, Joe

I think she would have been seriously shocked by the throwaway Grocers' apostrophes which seem to be ubiquitous.

I am shocked too, when I see a word that has been pluralized by adding an apostrophe and an 's'. As I am sure you know, apostrophes are used to show possession or to replace missing letters.
