Is PHOTO'S wrong? Being a pedant, could it not be an abbreviation of PHOTOGRAPHS? |

Clive, You are totally correct, however, the way I read what you were referring to, I thought you were referring to Grocers in general - In which case it would be in the other place.?? Gosh, this is complicated isn't it?? - It's no wonder they have stopped teaching Grammar to young children. !!!!!!!!!!!!!

No they don't, but they might have tailors' apostrophes. |

Dea: wouldn't that depend upon the number of grocers? |

I'd rather have a baker's dozen than a grocer's apostrophe. I've often had a butcher's hook. nell |

Has anyone else had a play with the new 'beta' family tree feature? It all looks a bit busy, but I find the reference to PHOTO'S, with the appalling grocer's apostrophe, laughable. There are enough software features that are crying out for tweaking on this site, without introducing such illiterate crap! |
