Creighton had just enough time to look up from his typing at the computer to see the murder weapon descend.
Quickly he typed:
The murderer’s name is: hfdgsdjkswjhopnijkfghhhhhhhhhhsfsggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg g g g
If he hadn’t been so fastidious about putting in the apostrophe in “murderer’s”, he might have managed to type out the first two letters of his wife’s name, and she wouldn’t be cavorting around on the sunlit beaches of Grecian isles with her toy-boy lover.

I think this needs a follow-up on the wife and toy-boy in the Greek isles.

CRISIS HERE!!! All my photos on my computer – since Adam was a boy – have disappeared off my computer. 40,336 photos apparently! I never realized there were so many photos… but a couple every year and it soon piles up! And of course the computer went and backed-up over night and excluded all the pictures! So I shall possibly be in too much of a panic today to respond to too many comments!

What’s pedantic about a simple mark of punctuation?

When you are about to be murdered any second and what to inform who did it – then I think it is pedantic, not at any other time.

Entirely agree, Cynthia. Why, I think no more about using apostrophes than I do about breathin–oH!! I get it now.

Quite so – if he had typed “The murderers name is…” instead of “The murderer’s name is…” the investigating detectives might very well have concluded that there were several murderers with the same name, for example they might all have been called Bill.

But it was his wife’s name he was trying to type, no? …..maybe Bianca, Bibiana, Brie, Brigit, Brittany, Beverly…as you say, they couldn’t all have been called Bill….

No, sir! I’d rather put in the apostrophe and be found dead without a clue than be caught with my pants down.

Hohoho, if the grammar nazis could be convinced. (Ironically, just before reading this, I’d texted a message that had an extra apostrophe at “it’s” – which should have been its). The evils of Apostrophe.
