take special care especially around old granny's ....... Granny's what? or have you put in an apostrophe by mistake and got the plural wrong!

It makes me mad when I see people putting the apostrophe all over the place. Next time it is a punishment exercise for you - write out the word properly 1000 times!
There is a famous instance in Germany when the footballer Paul Lambert put a message on the big screen for the fans and inappropriately used the punctuation - the German crowd knew their English and they laughed and cheered.
Typos on messages and in e-mails everyone accepts but totally wrong use of the apostrophe is hard to take.

A butcher shop in Thurso advertises Curry's in the window - wonder if means curries or a product from the famous electrical shop.

Note I said typos were generally acceptable (unless, of course, you are a trained typist). Actually I note very frequent typos on caithness.org but do not complain.
