Kate did put it in again,
but admin took it out,
they thought it was a typo.
Their literacy I doubt…
They’ve turned it upside-down,
and spread it with the other
commas scattered randomly
‘twixt newsletter’s covers.
Your post prompted me to go and check my school newsletter item for this week – and sure enough my Hallowe’en had been reduced to Halloween. 😦
Yes, my mother in law told me a story about her demented aunt looking for her other sock and everyone looked for it, just to find out after a long time that the poor woman had put both socks on one of her feet.
I can’t help feeling sorry for the possessive pronoun — “its”.
How unfair that the contraction of “it is” should get all the glory.
Maybe someone should start a campaign so that “its” can reclaim it’s apostrophe.
(There you go! I’ve set the ball rolling!)
I suspect that many of the world’s naturally occurring apostrophes have been appropriated by our local village pub. Therein is a chalk noticeboard which proudly informs that it’s (sic) evening meals can be served with pea’s, potato’s, carrot’s and all manner of vegetable’s.

Surplus to requirements in a language that thinks Halloween is a small Hallow.

It is spooky – and I looked for it. It seems to have gone missing in the 1800’s.
