Synopsis

Hi again, Hope that you've enjoyed my "WHOOP'S APOSTROPHE...!" #1, because here's #2...another 100 crazy photographs of mad apostrophe (and spelling) errors from around the globe, fae Bonnie Scotland all the way 'Doon Under' to Australia! Funny they are...horrid also, as the poor English teacher in me captures the error...but with a fair-sized (and apostrophe-shaped) lump in my throat! Enjoy! THE HUMOUR IS IN THE HORROR! MLP June 2013 P.S. Read Matt Engels' "I demand an end to the apostrophe" piece in 'The Guardian' 6/6/2000 - enjoy, laugh; smile at the "Greengrocers' Apostrophe" bit...but disagree! Please!  (Read any of MLP's own 'Sci-fi' fiction in his ongoing "Boyle-Breath" Series yet? Number 3, "BOYLE-BREATH BEGINS BACK at the END" is out very soon!

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

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
