Birds Eye

Just got this message from my Arizona pal Kathleen Magone. It’s a combination grammar lesson and trivia tip referring to the food company named above:

“The Guardian wrote one of its sarcastic ‘Pass Notes’
items about the frozen foods firm last week in which it said it was
grammatically incorrect not to include an apostrophe after the D.
The next day a correction appeared: ‘In fact, in this case, there
is a reason for its absence. The company is named after Clarence
Birdseye and is formed from his unapostrophised surname.’ Subtle
stuff, Birds Eye! And it’s not often you see ‘unapostrophised’ in
the Guardian, or indeed anywhere else.”

Below: This photo has nothing to do with the above post. It’s just a blatant bit of blog marketing that employs a publicity photo of Keira Knightley. The actress, demonstrating her typical slack-lip expression, is shown in costume from last year’s medieval anachronism “King Arthur,” in which she played a kick-ass version of Guinevere.
