Synopsis

Hi, Hope you enjoy my horrid 'Whoops Apostrophe' findings - WHOOP'S in the title for the humour; ...! in the title as there are lots of other errors in here, shock!

Apostrophe errors are my favourite horror, but I have 'snapped' so many others...and have 'chaptered' them, to file similar types of errors together. I suppose that you could say some spelling errors are more typesetting mistakes...but hey somebody's to blame in there, every time!

Plenty more in my mobile phone's memory, and every day I see and capture more...for posterity!? In shop windows, in cafes, in businesses, in pubs; on cars, vans, on the TV...in Scotland, England, Ireland; in Amsterdam recently, and all over Europe ('and' Turkey!). Australia...

Thought long and hard about adding witty and / or informative 'captions' under many of the images, especially as regards locations; but in the final analysis decided to let the visual nature of the 'humour' speak for itself!

And oh I know it's our modern world's 'fault' really, really? Technology - texting, e-mails, Facebook...leads to phonetic spellings and not 'bothering' with Capital letters... Mobile phones especially - I've got to press at least 6 times to even get to an '!

Apostrophes don't seem even to be taught anymore either, certainly not in any continuous form.

Smile, and learn?

Biographie de l'auteur

WHOOPS APOSTROPHE . . . ! not WHOOP's obviously; is a collection of photographs taken by myself (indeed the number on show inside is but a quarter of the amount that I have been 'Saving' on my phone/camera for years). The mobile (mine with an 8.1 megapixel) now so allows us humans to be 'snap happy' -able to capture scenes, events and action, forever. An English teacher most of my working life, I've hated and loved spotting these errors . . . in jotters 'yes' but in shop windows, on advertising billboards, on your television screen? No! Anyway, here is my first collection of crazy mistakes, to amuse you, to make you smile - the humour is in the horror? MLP 2013
