Everything about nothing

#1 Unread post by PostHuman »

"New 2007 Suzuki's"

Why is there an apostrophe between the i and the s?
Is "Suzuki's" a new sushi restaurant you're trying to tell us about?

I recommend changing that to "Suzukis".
Very unprofessional to have typos in headlines.

Its a grammatical error, not a typo.

Suzuki's looks fine to me

At the end of the day you are just borrowing the language, so any problems give us acall and bring it back over...

That assumes the person typing it consciously spelled it that way.
If that's the case it's even worse!

You prefer incorrect to correct?

Seriously, how incorrect it is depends on how you interpret Suzuki.

The English being used is obviously colloiqual English as it should read "The new, 2007, Suzuki range"

However here Suzuki is being used as a noun and the apostrophe is present is to show the possesiveness of the noun.

Then it should say "Suzuki's New 2007 Lineup" or something similar. New 2007 Suzukis implies a pluralization of Suzuki.

Just for PostHuman I think we should change it to "New, (2007): Suzuki-s?"
