It's hard enough to see avocado's and banana's in the supermarket, but "Here come's ..." ???

They've done it again. I marvel at the education their copywriter has received.

The Kina gallery in New Plymouth holds a special show each December: The "200 x 200 x 200 Xmas Show". Selected artists can contribute artwork on MDF panels, sized exactly 200 x 200 mm. The public can view the show until the end of December. Each piece sells at a flat rate of NZ$ 200.
Neat idea. This year, I am proud to be among the 40+ artists who present their art on this limited size. Opening night is 4-December 2009. Come along!I have been working with Faber Castell Polychromos coloured pencils. The MDF panels have received a few coats of Artspectrum Colorfix primer, applied with a sponge roller. The base coat for Kiwifruit is colour "Sand", Lime and Grapefruit is colour "Terracotta" and Lemon is "Black". The surface is perfectly flat. The picture frame is painted. Which one is your favourite?
The New Plymouth Operatic Society is showing Miss Saigon in October 2009. Here is a shot of the orchestra that supports the actors on stage. Because there's so much percussion equipment and a lot of bodies, we will not be in the orchestra pit. Instead we're video linked and patched in from a different room in the theatre. Communication is difficult, and getting the sound balance just so is a major challenge.
Tonight is Opening Night. Let's break a leg.
Oh, yours truly is on the cello.
Sometimes I fear that our little 50k+ community will not supply me with enough duhh! typo material to post here.
Well, trust the local free advertising rag to come up with innovative ways to screw the English language! So, once again, the topic of apostrophes, as in "Where to put them and where not?" OK, I won't say much about the heading. That's just plain uber-duhh.But in the remainder of the article the author clearly was at a loss of where to put the apostrophe. "Father's day" would be for just one dad, right? That may be discriminating against all other dads, innit? So, maybe "Fathers' day"? That might look a bit too posh, though. I mean, who really uses an apostrophe after an "s"? You know, with all that do about plurals and posessives and such, we're all confused, aren't we? So why not try "Fathers day"?! Yep, get rid of the apostrophy once and for all. Or maybe not? Kinda, like, feels a bit wrong that way, huh? Well, let's just put all three versions in the copy and I'm sure the reader will find at least one to agree with.Pheww. Another editorial challenge conquered. For me: Another reason to abolish this commercial fest until you learn to spell it properly!
