What is the point of this notice? How do I know which bin to use? Unless one is overflowing - in which case it will be obvious to use the other one. #l@cityofyorkcouncil.bsky.social

Apparently this new Banksy is being scrubbed off the wall. Perhaps They don’t want people to see it. Wouldn’t it be a shame if LOTS of copies were posted?

‘Capable of carrying a small nuclear bomb’. ‘Small’ - but greater power than the one dropped on #Hiroshima - and we’d have to ask the US president permission to use one. Who’s running the country?

This one did have me puzzled for a while. Presumably it is meant to be, “For a shave as smooth as Dad’s moves”. I was a bit put off because there are two correct #apostrophes: “Harry’s” and “Father’s” (Although I once argued - and lost - that it should be “Fathers’” - all fathers.) #grammar

Is it just me?This sign bothers me. Grammatically it’s a statement, but as such it is as valid as, ‘Unicorns do not park on footpath’. Add some punctuation, a comma or colon: ‘Vehicles: do not park on footpath’. 1/2

Is it just me, but I wouldn’t take medical advice from anyone who can’t use the apostrophe. One or more doctors? @grammartable.bsky.social @englishgrammer.bsky.social
