Is it 's or s'?

[Tubberman]

Also "could've went" drives me bananas.

I've seen more "I seen" written down as well.

What's wrong with it?

Could have GONE, not WENT.
You should of known that, otherwise their was something wrong with you're education...

Ahhhhhhh. It is one that I must admit I'm not on top of. Must try harder.

The one in Derry is called, in English, Padraig Pearse's GAC.

The one in Roscommon, Galway and every other example I looked at, is called Padraig Pearses GAA Club.

The Limerick club is called Na Piarsaigh.

The should only be the 'One Pearse to rule them all'.

[AZOffaly]

This is why I like simple club names. Like 'Ferbane's corner forward made an absolutely pathetic attempt at goal.' or 'Newport's coach hasn't a clue about hurling OR football'.

In our own little way we are all Padraig Pearses.

I'm reminded of the popular ditty,
'We all dream of a team of Padraig Pearses'.

[Billys Boots]

Leave it so. Just leave it so.

Ah, lookit!

OK. I'm gonna a be Johann Sebastian Shakespeare.

Both straight from your press folder?

The Limerick club is called Na Piarsaigh.

So the Limerick one translates as Pearses not Pearse?  Use of the plural in Irish too. Why I wonder?

[rosnarun]

I think the OP was looking for a general rule about accepted Grammar rather that a pissing contest  between people who are so insecure they feel the need to constantly correct other people's grammar and too thick to back down when proven wrong about a poorly translated Club Name. Perhaps?

No, from my wife.

Geraldines, Rovers, Rangers, Pearses.

I am consistently annoyed at the amount of people that misuse the apostrophe every single day

This one wouldn't annoy me too much. What annoys me is the use of Their, There, They're.

One I always have to think about when writing it, is 'it's/its'.

It's a lovely day
Its colour.

Well it annoys me no end, almost as much as having missed this debate up until this point.
I think you're all right. I was with FOSB but I think Moysider makes a good point too. The problem is that the club made a balls of naming themselves.

I'm delighted to see so many posters having a very good grasp of the almost discarded apostrophe.

Mixing up Your and You're unforgivable. Seeing businesses make mistakes with the apostrophe in advertisements and the like and people adding an apostrophe before the s just for the craic in a professional setting are pretty bad.

Financial Director in my last place started every email with 'Guy's'

In the end I pulled her on it. Couldn't take it any more.

In the past, when I was sending emails to multiple parties, I was not sure how to begin salutation, if it was two I would go with "Dear Jack and Jill, if it was three I would use a ,
more than that I would go with "Hi everyone" or "To all", which sounded a bit too formal/bossy for my liking.

Anytime an email starts with "Guys," I straight away delete it. And I've never had a follow up request as to why I didn't reply or act on whatever was said. It's a great junk filter.
