Tattie Bogle	We must stop correcting grammar (202* d)	RE: We must stop correcting grammar	28 Nov 17
It will not be that long before we in Scotland get into the season celebrating our great bard, Robert Burns.(Possessive Burns' or possibly Burns's) But it really gets up my nose to see BURN'S so often included in even official invitations, and also on our dance band set list (we have a Burns' Waltz Set and a Burns' reel set, both of which get wrongly placed apostrophes by the sender of the set list!) Now if someone was called James, you would, I hope, never write Jame's, so why Burn's?? And Britannia - only right about 50% of the times you see it in print! Oh yes, we have the Brittania Two-Step on our set list too! So....why must we STOP correcting grammar? (I did read the attached article!)
