h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hi Bored,

I noticed you have a thing about apostrophes, and thought I'd share this with you.

There's a pub in the Clerkenwell district of London that has named one of its bars after an English poet. It's called

Keat's Bar.

Amazing, eh?

That actually hurts! Keat's! What were they thinking? Were they thinking?

I work in a university where we teach people how to be clever and stuff. We have one Principal and two Vice-Principals. The Principal has his own office, the other two share. Our signs?

Principals' Office
Vice-Principal's Office

I cringe every single time I walk past those signs. One day I'm going to vandalise them into grammatical correctness.

I don't see how you can call yourself "bored" when you've got those signs to shred your nerves day after day.

While Keat's beats Principals', I think your signs win on points for their academic environment.

Vandalise away. If there are any recriminations, I'll provide a character reference.

Infie
