Can’t beat a bit of grammar pedantry. Hmmm. I would suggest it depends on whether the missing punctuation after grandparents was supposed to have been an apostrophe or a comma.

But the fact it was missing means the sentence can only be read as “grandparents (plural) kids (plural), meaning it can only be read as “ask your parents”. Agree a comma would change the meaning. It’s the whole “Let’s eat Grandma” Vs Let’s eat, Grandma” grammar piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In reality, the sentence makes very little sense without punctuation after grandparents. Where's Lynne Truss* when you need her? *Not be confused with Liz Truss, who, of course, is neither needed nor desired by anyone, except perhaps her 'friend' Kwarteng.

The source claim that if QPR decide to sell Dickie in the winter market then they're likely to demand in excess of £10m, which would only be the fifth time they've sold someone for that sum of money in the club's history." Only a year ago. Madness. Speaking of Madness, does anyone else think he looks a tad like a young Suggs ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it can be read as such, in the absence of the necessary punctuation, then it can equally be read as "ask your grandparents, kids". And as that's the only interpretation that makes sense given the context, why argue the contrary, other than to be, well, contrary...? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
