Anyone spot the mistake?

If I had one, he is the guy I would send to sort out my ex wife’s electrics.
For the time being he is first in line for the mother in law

The missing apostrophe?

Damm

Got it in one!

 

[pirate]

Missing comma and full stop too...but the missing apostrophe is the biggest sin!

 

[littlespark]

Watch out (comma) the punctuation police are about (full stop)

It was indeed ABHORRENT!
Some might argue that as an apostrophe denotes something missing (as opposed to the possessive, which it also does, in context) then pic's is simply an abbreviation of "picTUREs". However, IMHO, in current usage, the abbreviation should be pics, ie plural of "pic". The language evolves...
My favourite example,which has variations, is "fo'c's'le".
Why is "abbreviation" such a long word?

Like 'bus' - this was originally 'omnibus' and later abbreviated to 'bus. But nobody uses the apostrophe now. As you say, language evolves.

No he was definitely a Cardinal.

I knew somebody would suggest that as a possible correct usage. But I concur that "pics" is a plural form of "pic".
It was abhorrently aberrant!
