Of not if

A rant on my part as it makes me so angry. Of course language evolves, as per your moral (😁), but I still use the rules that I was taught at school back in the days if slate and chalk.

Trigger, I have an apostrophe in my surname and get pissed off by companies that insist I can't use it. So it's all very well saying that languages evolve but why should I have to evolve into changing my family name? This is a specific instance but really winds me up, especially when the (racist) software they use insist the apostrophe should be replaced by e.g. #&×?#

In France it's Fete du Peres, suggesting the plural in which case it's Fathers' Day.

Is it not irrelevant anyway Swiggy? :) Everyone knows what people mean when they say Mother’s Day wherever they put the apostrophe or no apostrophe. Language is changing. Always has.

I'm the DADDY, just ask my Ukraine lads!

Every day is Fathering Day.

So is it Father's Day, Fathers' Day OR Fathering Day?

Exactly OI

Though of course Mothering Sunday isn't actually about mothers but about the church. Anway I hope everyone can agree mothers are a good thing, we all had or have one.

Mothering Sunday sounds better anyway.

But what about us pedantic mothers, Pete, who want both 🤔?

Quite so, Swiggy!

Mothers are more important than arguments over apostrophes. Give them more flowers and fewer irrelevant pedantic s.

Of course if we referred to it as Mothering Sunday rather than take on more Americanism shit, the apostrophe discussion would be irrelevant.

True, OI.

Can we beat 15th this year [Link]

Presumably it could just be adjectival and thus Mothers Day, as in Washing Day etc.

I'm sure you're right 6MDM

* it's, not i's (and the irony of a typo in a post about grammar is not lost on me).

I always thought it was mothers' if referring to something belonging to (possessive) mothers (plural) but mother's if i's something belonging to a mother (singular) but I may be wrong.

Shame it didn't happen yesterday, but hopefully we will reach 50 points on Tuesday evening. Would that be the earliest we have reached it as AFCW in League 1?

It is not only us who have done nothing at Stevenage. They have 9 clean sheets at home in the league, they have only conceded 2 twice and have never conceded more than 2.

I guess Stevenage with the early goal were happy to concede possession and watch us do nothing.

We had 64 per cent possession yesterday surely highest of the season yet didn’t do anything with it
