Anyone who knows me very well knows that poor spelling and grammar are pet peeves of mine.* In particular, I am a stickler for the proper use of apostrophes. I read Eats, Shoots & Leaves with relish, and only keeping the book intact for future amusement has kept me from employing the punctuation repair kit it contains.
So I had to laugh a bit when my friends immediately pointed out that poor John Milligan had an error engraved into his tombstone. Oh, dear stonecutter, the possessive should be whose, not who’s.
* By stating this, I have almost guaranteed that I will make some sort of error in this post.
