Oh, that's one of my pet peeves! People seem to particularly like to use them after acronyms... "Cheap plasma TV's!", "Huge range of CD's to choose from!", "Buy DVD's here!".What about the indiscriminate and invariably incorrect use of apostrophes?
speeling mistakes
I assumed so.I sure hope that was deliberate.
This may diverge a little off the track, but over the last 12 months the phrase 'mortgage stress" or "rental stress" or "housing stress" has risen to prominence.
Isn't that just doing the hard yards and making sacrifices like every generation before?
You're (hope the apostrophe is in the correct place, or the spelling police will come after me) quite right. However, these days, everything has to have a catchy headline name. The media are quite insistent on this.
The grammar police will get you anyway, because "the media" is singular.... but perhaps "the media" is also plural?
My head is spinning .
It used to be this simple, Ian, but language is not static. In the same way as "agenda" has long been accepted for a single agendum, and data is becoming acceptable for a single datum, many believe that media is becoming acceptable in the singular, too. See discussion in Merriam-Webster's Dictionary of English Usage.No, media is the plural of medium.
TV is a medium, newspaper is a medium. Together they are called the media.
