Grocer’s Apostrophe

A5 Lined note paper with blue biro. Consistent use of the grocer’s apostrophe.

A grocer’s apostrophe is a spelling mistake caused by placing an apostrophe before the s of a plural word. In English, the plural form of a word is most commonly shown by adding an s to the end (e.g., “cats,” “bananas,” “pictures”). Don’t add your own apostrophe!

Not sure what Mary (Nurpac) is.

Flowers?


Flowers, lettuce, toms, cue, beet, fruit, jellies, loaf cake, milk, cereal, butter.

Although the location and date are not known, the salad ingredients would suggest that this is a summer list.

Very nice writing with the l of a £ sign.
