So how do you like the poster?

OK, as we are in nit picking mode, surely it should be 1940s not 1940’s.

Right I’m off to bed now…………..

PS Sad to hear the field is closing. Had a wonderful day there in 1988, walking round airside. In those days you just asked and got given a pass and told to take care.

There’s only one grocer’s apostrophe, though!

Or is it a grocers’ apostrophe?

If you are referring to “It’s our last”… while “its” (possessive) does not have the apostrophe, “it’s” (contraction for “it is” or “it has”) does have one.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/its

its
–pronoun
the possessive form of it (used as an attributive adjective): The book has lost its jacket. I’m sorry about its being so late.

it’s
1. contraction of it is: It’s starting to rain.
2. contraction of it has: It’s been a long time.

—Confusables note
A very common mistake is to write its (the possessive form of it) when it’s (the short form of it is or it has) is required: It’s [it is] unclear what he meant. It’s [it has] been wonderful seeing you again.

But do not use it’s for it has when has is the main verb: It has a strong flavor; use it sparingly cannot be written as It’s a strong flavor…

An equally common mistake is to use it’s for the possessive, probably because ordinary possessives of nouns are formed with an apostrophe: the dog’s coat; Mary’s cell phone. But the possessive its is a pronoun, not a noun, and, like other possessive pronouns (his, hers, yours, and theirs), is written without that particular bit of punctuation: I have to fix my bike. Its front wheel came off.

—Usage note
While it is possible to use its as a predicate adjective (The cat is angry because the bowl you’re eating out of is its!) or as a pronoun meaning “that or those belonging to it” (Your notebook pages are torn. Borrow my notebook—its aren’t), such use is rare and in most circumstances strained.

Errr….

Nice badge! Can I have won? :rolleyes:

Good day

Well Moggy appreciate you pointing things out by I do believe the difference is in the distance…

Over here
Biplane
Bi Plane
Bi-Plane

are used pretty much universally…comes from being colonials I guess

Dependent and Dependant…in the poster context are also used similarly here
But that one I will give you as I have no idea it got missed through multiple proof reads (not by me cause I can’t spell)

I’m scared writing this in case the grammer police spot a mistake

Errr….

Oh he is not wearing a hi vis jacket 🙂 I’m scared writing this in case the grammer police spot a mistake 🙂

Are you sure they are aerospace rivets used in the construction of this poster? One has to nit-pick something!

……….at least it didn’t say “whether dependant” – although in context and at a pinch, such could be said to be correct!

Hee Hee Ancien 🙂

Poster: A nice link from the past to the future with the little fella. Good luck with the show.

Ok Moggy

I give…what did we miss in the multiple proof readings?

Presumably Moggie is referring to the different meanings of dependAnt and dependEnt.

Dependant (as you currently have on your poster) means someone who is reliant on someone or something, i.e. a noun. Whereas dependent (which you should have on the poster) means relying on something (in this case the weather), i.e. an adjective.

At least that’s what they mean over this side of the Atlantic. I’ve no idea if there’s a difference in spelling/meaning of these in North America. Bit picky anyway, as I don’t suppose 99% of folk would even notice!:D

Poster looks great – $5 entrance fee sounds very reasonable!

Don’t like the bit about “… this is our last…” though. 🙁

I don’t ether and it’s not because the event isn’t successful…it’s very successful.

The airport that our museum is on is in the process of being closed, one runway is already closed and it limits the large aircraft like B-25s, B-17s and the Lancaster from joining us.

So rather than suffer a slow diminishing death we have decided to go out with a bang! So this is the swan song.

I’d prefer it if the writer had access to a dictionary. But the designer did a good job.

Poster looks great. Pilot is a bit young though.
