Retailer mocked for T-shirt mistake
A supermarket giant has been criticised after a customer spotted a grammatical error on the retailer’s Father’s Day T-shirt.
The angry shopper took to Mumsnet, to rant about the misplaced apostrophe on the $7 shirt.
The shopper explained that they were annoyed over the “errant apostrophe” in the word “Dad’s”, which should’ve read “Dads”.
“I do think large retail chains ought to have someone checking their products for spelling, punctuation and grammar,” the user wrote.
“I’m sure most parents would prefer it if their children were not exposed to such errors, given that they’ll be tested on them all the way up to A level …”
Another user revealed her plans to show the photo of the shirt to her Year 5 English class.
“I’m 95% sure they will know what’s wrong with it straight away.”
One Mumsnet user suggested Asda should employ a proofreader, while another posted on their social media accounts to call the supermarket out on their mistake.
"I've posted x2 on their FB page and tweeted them, I'll revisit and keep at it when I've got a minute and report back if I get responses," the user wrote.
"Join in anyone?"
An Asda spokesperson told Fabulous, “We dropped the ball here, and not the apostrophe, which was a mistake.”
