I am all about living languages and words changing meanings and suchnot. I just feel that there’s a material difference between the natural evolution of vocabulary as fashion and new invention dictate and the evolution of language because people’s ignorance leads them to make a mistake over and over.
For example! I am starting to suspect that using an apostrophe-s to pluralize days of the week is rapidly becoming acceptable. I think this comes from the (debatable) utility of apostrophe-s to pluralize things like “CD” and “DVD.” But I don’t really understand the logic, because I’m pretty sure the culprits wouldn’t argue that the plural of “day” is “day’s.”
Or maybe they would.
Anyway, Reporter #1 found this gem, which just makes me sad.
Of course, we also have here a lovely “Kid’s Menu,” which I imagine is only available to the first child into the restaurant at any given time. And that’s just wrong, ladies and gentlemen. So I can take refuge in that, at least.
They even misspelled the name of the restaurant! It should be “Bullfeather’s,” right?
I’m not sure if Bullfeathers is intended to be a possessive or not, Dave.
I can see argument’s for Kid’s Menu in the singular, but I do think that Kids’ Menu would be more appropriate.
I can make no argument for Monday’s.
Since when do bulls have feathers anyway?? 😀
They stole the idea from horses.
