Spooks Psychic Cafe, in Havant, Hampshire, is embroiled in scandal once again.
Spooks' owner, known only as Z, first made the news when the grammar police (the retired English teachers at the yarn shop) complained that their sign promoted bad grammar and reflected badly on the neighborhood.

The elderly women at "The Knitpik" demanded the sign be written correctly for fear the spookers were promoting illiteracy. (I personally find it a bit hypocritical, given the misspelling of Knitpik, but that's neither here nor scare.)
Z told reporters, "I will NOT be bullied into using an apostrophe. They indicate possessiveness, and we do not get involved in possession of any kind."
But what DO they get involved in at this unusual cafe?

Why not stop by and give them a try?
Once an English teacher, always an English teacher, eh? Honestly, if it come out that theyre all evil, I wouldnt be surprised. Learning grammer has always been an uneccisary evil. Spelling too.
ReplyDeleteagreed-grammar has never made much sense and now with spell check it isn't as important. I love how you spelled Uneccisary--see THAT makes sense as you spelled it phonetically!!
