There are two fun errors in "Two arrested in West End assault" in today's 24H Vancouver. What makes them fun? Well, the first error has the apostrophe before the S in victim's when there are clearly two victims, so the apostrophe should be after the S. Then, when writing about a different assault later in the article,
the writer puts the apostrophe after the S in victims' when there is clearly only one victim, so the apostrophe should be before the S. It's a fun apostrophe switcheroo! It's a fun aposteroo! Methinks the writer should take a fun writing class to learn about apostrophe placement. This is a page-3 story that was either not proofread or proofread very poorly.
