Apostrophe Award!

The Ig Nobel Prizes honor people whose achievements "cannot or should not be reproduced." Ten prizes are given to people who have done remarkably strange things - some of them admirable, some perhaps otherwise. Thought this year's award for literature might make you smile.

LITERATURE
John Richards of Boston, England, founder of The Apostrophe Protection Society, for his efforts to protect, promote, and defend the differences between plural and possessive.

Wonder if he's one of Eric's mates? Oooh, I'm getting nervous now, wondering if I've put 'em in the right places...

We have to, it is only right and just. We have to get Eric to interview him on the site. Could be a classic. ABC organise it please. Ralph
