"(punctu'ation) question...!?"

i expect to hear from rebecca, but anyone can assist me here.

i was talking to someone the other day about the menu at foster's market. now - would that be foster's's menu? foster's menu? foster's' menu? eye suppose it could be referred to as the foster's menu. or perhaps we should just stick to the menu at foster's. help a brother out.

It's Foster's market, and it's Foster's menu.

Or Foster's Market's menu, if you wish.

So I decree.

But what if Foster didn't write the menu and her market? It wouldn't be quite so accurate to be calling it Foster's menu? :-)

I don't think Susan is the Susan Martin who was my college roommate, but her grammar is certainly precise.

Sara Foster owns the restaurant. So, it's Sara "Foster's Market".

Hence, the menu at Foster's Market is Foster's Menu or the Foster's Market menu.

"Foster" is a really weird word. Say it a couple of times. foster...foster

foster
foster...foster fosterfosterfoster

foster.

I'm going to go with Susan on this one.

And I'd LOVE to go to Foster's....
