I once received a fax (it was a while ago) and there was an apostrophe in my name.

Yes, that's Jone's.

If you could provide us with a translation then we might spot the parts that constitute errors in 'that' language! Babel Fish didn't recognise it - could it be Klingon?

You are supposed to post the actual quote, so we can see the name of the guilty party.

I know, but I didn't really do it to humiliate anyone.

I just thought it was so bizarre I had to post it.

Don't worry, the guilty parties don't read this thread, if they did, they would stop doing it.

Poor people, you mean? Others use Waitrose.
Don't you mean Waitro's?

If they are quoted in this thread, does it appear in their "My info/contributions"?

I don't think anyone who owns a Renault Trekka should be calling anyone else a sad .

Anyway, have you learned the lesson, that's the main thing.
