Okay joking aside I hold my hand up to the mistake (changed now and thanks) and admit that I have probably done it more than once, I have even been known not to not put the apostrophe into don’t particularly in emails and IMs to friends.

But I disagree that it is symptomatic of anything other than my own typing; to couple that with car crashes on the Naas Dual Carriageway is going a little far methinks. Though if misplaced apostrophes have actually sent people into the wrong lane where they end up going around and around the Mad Cow I apologise profusely.

I hope my single apostrophe disaster didn’t take away from the interesting information about our first citizen or indeed the photographs, personally for me it wouldn’t in someone else’s post, an apostrophe in the wrong place wouldn’t also send me the wrong way round the Naas Dual Carriageway.

While pals I know are driven demented by things like ‘menu’s’ I have to say I save my umbrage for other things.

But thank you for that Karl, I shall go outside now, find a stick and beat myself with it, or is that its or it’s. Ah hell I can’t or is that cant work it out

This is symptomatic of our bad public notices and signage in Ireland; witness the recent accident and near-accidents by motorists driving the wrong way on the Naas Dual Carriageway, simply because of lack of care with signage.
If you can’t spell, don’t do signage;
If you can’t park your car properly, don’t drive it.
