Following today’s fuss over Waterstone’s rebranding as Waterstones, I have updated the article on Apostrophes with two new sections and new pictures. I had BBC Radio Two on in the car when I went to the dentist and people were phoning in to protest. An hour later, I got back in the car and they were still talking about it.
