Pop Spencer was recently at Joules Yard in Market Harborough, where he came upon one of those menu boards we feature from time to time:
He comments: ‘Not a cheap chalkboard but a professionally designed and printed advertising board. Why do pasta and casserole deserve their own apostrophe, but soups and potatoes etc. have to do without? (As a BTW their vegetarian options appear to be taking the sausage and bacon off the plate of an all day breakfast).’
One might also ask why casseroles and sandwiches have qualifying adjectives, and why ‘well filled’ lacks a hyphen.
casserole’s, pasta’s; random apostrophes
