Today at work I pointed out a tagline that was aiming for — and singularly failing to use — the plural possessive. Worse, I did it with frustrated hand gestures and even (oh dear lord) finished up with a wordless cry.
You know what this means, don't you? That's right: I've cemented my reputation.
In TV-land, girls cement their reputation by doing dreadfully uninhibited things at office christmas parties. Me? I point out apostrophe atrocities.
Oh yeah. I live on the edge.

Argh! Jan! You break me with your tauntingly incorrect use of apostrophes!
Ben: it's a curse 😉
