Punctuate the mother!
IF I were a mother, and English, I would be ashamed of most of my children. Honestly, when will they ever learn it is Mother’s Day and not Mothers Day?
Everywhere I go I see special offer signs. The butcher, the pub-owner, the postman, the mechanic, the gas man, the garbage man, everyone’s got a deal for Mother. And everyone seems to have more than one mother, bar W H Smith and a few other worthies who I am sure hired a professional proof-reader.
For fucks –- I mean, fuck’s -- sake, get that apostrophe in.

I refer you Chindu, to Eats, Shoots and Leaves, a book devoted to day to day grammar mistakes in the public eye. I think I got it for my mum last Mother's Day actually.
James, great to see your blog. Keep writing!
:-) Thanks, Tim. Lynne Truss is good, yes, and concise. Very useful.
