ATCO TWO
Well said! How good it is to meet a fellow AAAA member in NATS. I was beginning to think that my watch manager and I - both committed activists - were the only two in the company. That's two of my
bętes noires dealt with in one go - thank you.

Welcome to the club. I now see you in an entirely new light - I'll even forgive you for your crack about LASs and gorillas!
You just beat me to it with your post about the misuse of apostrophes in simple plurals but have you noticed how the same people who put them in when they’re not needed, frequently omit them when they
are required?
To take an example from this thread: “…other peoples/units problems.” Surely that should be, "other people’s/units’ problems."? Unless, of course the writer was using "peoples" in the sense of the members of particular nations in which case it should be "other peoples'/units' problems".
