This is the sexy Art Deco foyer of 55 Broadway, home to St James' Park station (since renamed Sports Direct Arena). The filename clue was that actor Jon Groff played a character called Jesse St James in a popular TV show.

Re: Photo Quiz 17.14 (Now finisheD)
Hmm... Interesting.
I said in my entry that it was the 'incorrectly punctuated St James's Park station' (or something like that), yet you have stated the answer as the correctly punctuated yet incorrect station name of St James' Park...
The amount of people who get the s's / s' wrong is quite amazing - you got it right, but London Underground (or I guess the Metropolitan District Railway) got it wrong...

I'll admit that the 1939 dated London Railways Diagram above my desk that I use for reference (great for nostalgia, absolute bobbins for plotting a route to the O2 from Stratford International) has it as "St James Park" but I thought I'd add a superfluous ' because gosh darnit, I'm tired of people getting my possessive terms wrong.

Be like the Americains and just don't include punctuation in nameplaces!

Re: Photo Quiz 17.14 (Now finisheD)
Good point Starkey, but is "people" not an abstract noun? If so, I think one can get away with using a qualitative term. But one of my pet hates is the misuse of "less" and "fewer", "number" and "amount" etc.Starkey7 wrote:You mean number, not amount.RichieG wrote:The amount of people...

Well, you'd say "many" people rather than "much people", so I think that the word is countable.
