Someone on MN is wondering where to buy 'elf's'....

This issue around wrongly placed apostrophes seems to have escalated recently. It would appear to be almost a badge of honour to place as many apostrophes as possible on signs etc. It would be better to omit them altogether rather than place them wrongly.
Love the 'elf's and shelf's '

Isn't the point that the plural is elves?

You only gave to read through an average thread here on Gransnet to debunk the idea that we grans are any better. Just saying!

Fancy me not realising that chelseababy

As plurals of elf, both elfs and elves have long histories in English, and there is plenty of precedent for both, but elves has always been the more common form by far.

It’s the apostrophe that’s the issue.

No OldMeg the issue is what you use to blow your ose!

I had the think about that one Phoenix

I had to think....
