Grammar crisis at Sainsbury's

    Newer Older

    Sainsbury's spend millions of pounds upgrading their East Dulwich store but fail to employ a signwriter who can follow basic rules of grammar.
    Here they've incorrectly inserted an apostrophe into DVDs but not into CDs .... masterful work!

      No, the correct version is the one without apostrophes.

      I'm an administrator for the brand new Grammar Bloopers group. I would love to have this picture in our photo pool

      And you know what ... Over a year later this sign is still proudly hanging in Sainsbury's

      The older method was to use an apostrophe, but now newspapers and magazines are going without it. But in any case, being consistent with one style is the least a sign maker can do!
