Apostrophes gone mad!
by: Garry Pierrepont (17 December 2013)
I don't know about you, but I would not be too happy about sending my child to a pre-school class that threw apostrophes about with such abandon!

I know they probably don't teach grammar to pre-school children ... and here, it's just as well!
In addition to correcting the mis-used apostrophes, we should change the capital A on "Available", and standardise on three letters for each day.
We could also discuss replacing the ampersand.
Spaces available? I'm not surprised.

I've also noticed that some preschool and nursery workers use incorrect grammar when speaking to the children - just what they DON'T need at this crucial time of language development!

It demonstrates to me that even the seemingly most simple sign or notice needs to be proofread.

Wow. Shocking errors, I wonder how many people actually noticed them? Standards are indeed slipping!
