Jane's prose wasn't very pretty but the message was clear. "Afternoon" is no more arbitrary than "Good Afternoon" and is an acceptable spoken greeting; maybe an apostrophe would be useful to signify the missing "Good".<BR/><BR/>As for the capitalisation of "all"... it's not correct but I'm in a leniant mood so I guess we could let it slide.<BR/><BR/>However, for the crime of using an apostophe in a plural, I hereby issue a GrammarBlog fatwa: hunt this "Jane" down and burn her!Gezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10940940562246471040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143592478563275464.post-2695302504142305762007-06-28T09:56:00.000+01:002007-06-28T09:56:00.000+01:00Utterly deplorable.
