Roger-t-s,

You're suffering from apostrophitis. It's a very common disease, and highly contagious. I know! As a former English teacher, and having worked as a trainer/teacher of business & management subjects at colleges & University I have seen this terrible disease reaching plague proportions over the years. There seems to be no cure, and unlike yourself, most of the sufferers don't seem to care. When I talk about apostophes in class their eyes glaze over and they go into denial, start compulsively talking about any other thing they can think of until I have to give up hope and try to stop worrying about it. *BG*

By the way, Attenborough said that the person was *nearly* killed by a falling tortoise - not actually killed.
