    Straying further off-topic... These days I'll happily turn a blind eye to a missing/extraneous apostrophe. It seems there are few people who can produce a full sentence, so it seems churlish to complain about the finer points of punctuation.

    Or about the quality of the rivets in the hull. Er. :worried:

    The devil is in the details. It is the tiny oversights that cause the major catastrophes. Similarly, a misplaced apostrophe can convey a crucially different meaning. If the patient's tablets go missing, you better check the medicine cabinet. If the patients' tablets go missing, you have a much bigger problem on your hands...
