I was in Borders in Oxford today and on their noticeboard of what was on each floor someone had spelt the word staionery on this laminated board with an "a"! How wrong is that!!!
Am with you all the way Joanne....I am a right stickler for the apostrophe and it really bugs me when it is left out....p'raps I am a little old fashioned but it's only right and proper LOL xx
I believe the origin of the word is from All Hallow's Eve, or something like that (I didn't Google), so Hallowe'en with the apostrophe is the right spelling, because it is a concatenation of two words. But somewhere along the way, the apostrophe got dropped.
I am happily married with two wonderful sons. I work full-time as a radiographer. I like to make stuff. Cardmaking, knitting, crochet. I'll try anything crafty.I also have an unhealthy love of maths: I did a degree for fun.
I post on my blog in the hope that I will inspire others to create. I am more than happy for you to be inspired by anything I post, and make it your own. Likewise, I get inspiration from all sorts of sources including the blogs of other crafters, although I would never knowingly directly copy another's work I visit so many blogs I pick up inspiration all over the place. Please know that if you are in my blog lists then you inspire me.

ReplyDeleteI thought of you last night when, for some reason, the word 'Halloween' was shown on the BBC news. The BBC incorrect with their grammar! Tut tut.
ReplyDeleteNo argument from me!
