[job done!] Click to make the nasty apostrophe go away

I've clicked to make the ads go away. Could someone make the superfluous apostrophe in 'ad's' (sic) go away too? It gives me the eebie-jeebies. Sorry. Just can't help it. :hehe:

 

Since an ' is used to signify that there are some letters missing then the ' in ad's is technically correct as the letters 'vertisment' have been omitted. Still looks wrong though.

 

Hmmm. Well, apostrophes are used to show the contraction of two words, as in they'll. They are also used to show omission in phrases such as 'o'clock'. However, I think that using one to show the omission of --vertisement from the slangy short form 'ads' may be pushing things a little. It just looks ugly. You'd be better off writing the word in full. Never mind - off to work on my ab's. :hehe:.

 

... or what about 'click to make the adverts go away'. Accepted, informal word - no nasty apostrophe needed!

 

Thanks Woo.:D

I suppose in our neck of the woods it would have to be an adver'isemen' :hehe:

 

Can somebody tell me where you see this? I'd not noticed it and will change it ASAP!!

 

Hi Daisees

It appears on the home page under the advertisements. Forum users who have donated to the site will no longer see it.

 

Of course! That's why I can't see it! :hehe:

 

Well, would you believe it? Clever clogs here has managed to do it!

 

Well done, Daisees! :yez:

 

Well may be you did, but it is back again!

Almost the last line on the page is "Click here to Donate and to make ad's go away!"
