Personal blog, 2006 to 2012: memories of my time in sales and marketing at Dell, Xerox, Amstrad, Dixons and more, plus other interesting stuff. These days I'm CEO and joint owner of Signals, helping complex sales and partner teams become more productive.
It seems that getting ones apostrophe’s right is important to quite a few people, so I have added the one missing from my Blog title.

Apostrophe No-No: In all types of promotional material, I note an alarming increase in the apostrophe's (incorrect) usage to indicate the plural. Examples such as "Potato's 10p per kilo" and "Hundred's of Laptop's at rock-bottom prices" drive me NUTS. These displays of stupidity actually put me off buying the promoted products or services. Who's to blame for this abuse of a beautiful language and profession? ...... Copywriter's!!!!!!
