Also, is there a French equivalent of the grocers' apostrophe?

Never mind the apostrophe, the word should be "passers-by", not "passersbys". The grocer in question probably didn't believe that "passers-by" was already plural.

I live in Montana where we have exactly jack poo poo for anything, particularly fancy grocery stores, so this discussion makes me sad. But, as a child of the Northeast, I must hasten to remind you all that if you ain't Wegman's, you ain't poo poo.

What part of Montana? I'm in Kalispell and we don't even have a bookstore anymore since Border's closed. All of these pictures of books are making me sad.

quote:

NEW YORK–Stopping for lunch at a Manhattan Burger King, New York Times 'On Language' columnist William Safire ordered two "Whoppers Junior" Monday. "A majority of Burger King patrons operate under the fallacious assumption that the plural is 'Whopper Juniors,'" Safire told a woman standing in line behind him. "This, of course, is a grievous grammatical blunder, akin to saying 'passerbys' or, worse yet, the dreaded 'attorney generals.'" Last week, Safire patronized a midtown Taco Bell, ordering "two Big Beef Burritos Supreme."

In addition to Two Buck Chuck, Joe's also carries Vodka Of The Gods which is a totally passable vodka that comes in 1.75L bottles and costs :10bux:. This was a staple of my grocery shopping for a long time.



And they have a :10bux: TJ's scotch whisky that is easily worth $25 for the taste, totally decent. They even have a 12-year scotch whiskey for only :20bux:.

For both the whiskies and the wines they basically have deals set up with distilleries/wineries to take their totally good product that they can't use for whatever reason, or so I'm told.

Not really. I suspect they got an English person to write the French, and a French person to write the English, which would be :quebec: as gently caress. Of course the reality is that someone is just a poo poo writer at every language and has a McGill job.

Nah - the original book is called "A Game of Thrones", and the HBO series is "Game of Thrones." Why? Who knows! :shrug:
