I'm rather appalled to note that an article published by the BBC contains two instances of the greengrocer's apostrophe. All that licence money, and none to spare to hire a sub-editor?
- DanBC 9y ago> This website is produced by BBC Global News Ltd, a commercial company owned by the BBC (and just the BBC). No money from the licence fee was used to create this website. The money we make from it is re-invested to help fund the BBC’s international journalism.
- Boothroid 9y agoNot sure if the article has been updated but the only one I could find after a quick skim was: “Love Bug’s” Thing is the writer was trying to show possession with that apostrophe but I the correct usage would be: “Love Bug”'s Not terribly attractive to read though; I would probably rephrase to avoid it. Also I'd say I notice this more and more. My suspicion is that graduates from the more prestigious universities are avoiding journalism as a career.
