The total fucking irony
BBC Radio 4 has an online grammar quiz dedicated to that most maligned of punctuation, the apostrophe. In prefacing the quiz, they have apparently used the BBC style guidelines for these examples – so blame them, not us
. Well, okay then; but are they not part of the BBC? (confused)
For their part, the BBC News online editorial staff seem largely ignorant that such a guide, or the apostrophe itself, even exists.
In the interests of full disclosure, I scored 9/10. I'm not sure about a couple of their answers which appear to contradict each other. But that's an issue to be dealt with by those higher up the Grammar Police's chain of command, not a lowly beat patrolman such as I.
