Memorial Day Banner

The current banner has a typo in it. "Hero's" should actually be "heroes". Apostrophes have no place in plural forms, ever.

Even though there is a mistake. There's no big deal upon it. It speaks from the heart. And i like the banner anyways.

Nice banner.

we know theres a mistake. We in way made it that way cause it looked better . Heroes didnt look the best.. But as Memorial Day comes around tmr, all remember, the nation that forgets it defenders will itself be forgotten

kinda funny. But a good rememberance neverless.

unless its plural possessive then apostrophes become an English teacher's worst nightmare

The Jones family.... the Jones' house
the cats..... the cat's ball

I don't think we should base our typography on what "looks better", but on what's correct. We should try to look as professional as possible to attract the best members possible. (Likewise with distinguishing "there", "their" and "they're"... not mere spelling variations of one another!)

Indeed. The rule is pretty simple, but I think it would be better if English just dropped all apostrophes from its possessives. That would bring us in line with the other Germanic languages.

I agree, it should be spelt correctly.

take out the word "Heroes" altogether. let it read In Memory of America's Fallen= Memorial Day

you guys nate made a simple mistake, the world aint coming to an end. let's just honor the people who died fighting for us

Nice banner. Im sure that however you choose to fix it ( or just leave it) It will be fine. Its only going to be up there one day after all

Its just good to have a caring forum to stay on top of important days like this. Nice work all!

Seriously show some respect? You dont have to be complete jerk about it. Its just one day calm down wood

I think you're overreacting to what's really a very simple critique. I just want the union to be respected, and I'm not opposed to breaking an egg or two to make that omelette. I'm plenty calm - I think you have it backwards as to who needs to calm down. In addition, demanding respect is a surefire way to get me to not show you any. Try setting a good example when you want to be respected.

Again if you have a problem PM an admin? Its always been that way. No reason to draw attention to a problem so outsiders know about it cause you had to be a loud mouth and draw attention.

Nice banner there guys I don't care how "hero" word is normally written, I'm always doing mistakes when I write it even in French So it seem to be a really complicated word thus, to go with the people who are named like that!
