FFS. PAST. ITS PAST. You don't live with your mother too do you?

No, I think it settles better here, where the full horror of the missed apostrophe is shown in context.

Perhaps I'm due a parrot but in that context it is "past" leaving only the missed apostrophe. Past vs passed

Technically,yes,I know. But to split the post up by thread would impair the comedic impact of the two combined.

A chum of mine (who is something of a grammar nazi) sent an email starting as follows:


'morning everyone. I hope you're all feelling well after last night.


On the basis that the apostrophe at the start represented the word 'Good' which was omitted.

Seems wrong to me !?
