Huzzah for Birmingham!  I've been on what I thought was a hopeless  
campaign for years to get the fuckin apostrophe abolished from  
English.  It is nothing but a cause of misery, used incorrectly more  
often than correctly.  I say the hell with it.

(Yes, I still use it as long as it's on the books, but that's just me  
being weird.)
