The missing apostrophe?Anyone spot the mistake?
If I had one, he is the guy I would send to sort out my ex wife’s electrics.
And his cap's not straight!Missing comma and full stop too...but the missing apostrophe is the biggest sin!

Cardinal sin, that be....

Better?While we're on the subject....
Could someone PLEASE remove the aberrant apostrophe in this thread's title. It's been bugging me for centuries.
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...
I knew somebody would suggest that as a possible correct usage. But I concur that "pics" is a plural form of "pic".It was indeed ABHORRENT!

My favourite example,which has variations, is "fo'c's'le".
Why is "abbreviation" such a long word?
