Is that a greengrocer's apostrophe I spy?

Hmm...... shouldn't
your own apostrophe be the other side of the s if it refers to greengrocers in general?

Nice try, but I'm afraid there's no error. Check the OED entry:


greengrocer's apostrophe n. (also greengrocers' apostrophe)

A slick reply to a self-confessed stirrer! Of course, I knew neither was (were?) incorrect as it could refer to a typical greengrocer; I was just interested to see if you were on the same level!
However, my post was not entirely superfluous as it seems to have prompted thatguy1 to see the error of his ways and remove the offending punctuation!
