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.
lol I bet you'll be glad when its all over and November arrives :0)
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!
