YepWhich is why I said 'a strong argument' and didn't assert that either was right :) Point is, while I sympathise with people's shock and horror at the misuse of apostrophes it's best not to try picking someone up about it in this particular case.

But you're probably right that he was raging over a greengrocer's apostrophe.
Gaah! Should that be "greengrocers' apostrophe"?
