That is because it was named after the title of a book by Charles Kingsley ... I can't believe I have reworded my totally useless and uninteresting addition to a topic that has had me chuckling all day just to avoid the use of apostrophes

Doesn't the apostrophe have to go where the letter was omitted, as demonstrated in the first word of this reply.

'Spr'os before 'ho's which leads to a terrible muddle of ambiguous apostrophising.

Why is the hip-hop world keen to abbreviate single sylable words? Why is hip-hop hyphoned? Is it not a composite word, like foot-ball?

I don't know Gwilym. I can't decide whether I should be ashamed or proud of the fact that I have honestly not understood one post except Cakeboy's. Now that is really weird! :shock: :oops:

From what I have followed, it would seem to be about choosing a business name.

This certainly fits the "off topic" section perfectly. Quite a good giggle to read too
