[QUOTE="Malika, post: 444513, member: 11227"] Do you have the syndrome that we call "grocer's apostrophe" in the States? The name arose from all the mysterious signs outside greengrocers alerting the clientele to such mysteries as tomatoe's or potatoe's... people often talk about it's, for example, as in the horse ate it's hat (= its hat, its already being possessive and needing no apostrophe). Pedantry rules OK! [/QUOTE]
