You don't pass your owl test, sorry.

[tubeguru]

I was talking to an owl friend the other day. He told me he was getting married. I said, "You twit. To who?"

[Sam]

That does not relate to owls, stupid.

I bet it was a right hoot.

Neil doesn't like Tescos being spelt as Tescos even though people say it as Tescos

It is not Tescos. The store name is TESCO. The only reason people say it is because they say "Sainsbury's", which is perfectly legitimate, as it refers to someone's name. TESCO is a concatenation of two things - T.E. Stockwell and John COhen, the co-founders.

Morrisons is pluralised, so that's OK. ASDA is singular, as is ALDI and LIDL.

It's as bad as people who say "MAC-Donalds".

So as TESCO is not a "name" per se, it should not be pluralised or have apostrophe S added to it. So bloody stop it.
