If the shop refuses to make a new one, I will try that before ordering it again! Thanks!</p> <p>@Charm54: That's probably the best option, unless I am able to cut off the S, but I would of course still explain to my mom what happened. Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grammar-question-1#post-2394336 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 22:59:05 +0000 Charm54 2394336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah I don't think that will work :sad: Bummer!</p> <p>I would probably wrap it up and after they opened it explain my error and say a new one was already ordered and on its way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grammar-question-1#post-2394332 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 22:54:26 +0000 pastemoo 2394332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>can you just shave off the s with an xacto knife? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grammar-question-1#post-2394329 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 22:53:38 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2394329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Without the "The", it would really bug me. Sorry! I hope you're able to get a new one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grammar-question-1#post-2394324 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 22:50:22 +0000 jmarionsmith 2394324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pinkcupcake: Yeah, I totally get that. Sooo bummed! :bummed: </p> <p>@MamaCate: It is really so cute, and probably the gift I'm most proud of this year which is making it that much more sad for me. The shop is on vacation now so I can't message them but typically when you order things like this you get a proof of what it will look like before they make it and I never received one. So I'm going to try to see if I can use that to get the correct one. But that's probably pushing it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grammar-question-1#post-2394304 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 22:31:39 +0000 MamaCate 2394304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am a grammar stickler so I voted no. Anyway to return or reorder? It is really cute otherwise! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grammar-question-1#post-2394300 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 22:29:40 +0000 pinkcupcake 2394300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm... Sorry, I don't think it works :( it's grammatically incorrect and would bug me too much to use it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grammar-question-1#post-2394293 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 22:22:47 +0000 jmarionsmith 2394293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: Haha, true, it is the wrong name. But I guess I mean in terms of "The" not being present with the name being plural, which is more of a grammar-y problem? :silly: </p> <p>@Greentea: Thank you for a little bit of hope! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grammar-question-1#post-2394288 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 22:14:38 +0000 Greentea 2394288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it could be okay because it is like "from the Carters." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grammar-question-1#post-2394280 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 22:04:24 +0000 lawbee11 2394280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't say it's bad grammar it's just the wrong name. If I knew the last name was Carter and received a card with that I would be confused. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grammar-question-1#post-2394267 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 21:50:02 +0000 jmarionsmith 2394267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, I feel so dumb!</p> <p>I bought this really cute return address stamp for my mom and her husband (they're obsessed with foxes) off etsy. But I totally messed up and put Carters when their last name is Carter. The example stamp the shop used had Collins, which is an actual last name and I just wasn't thinking. Is this completely bad grammar or is it just not the preferred way. To me, if it's going to be plural it should say "The" in front of the name. </p> <p>I was thinking I could just ask my mom if she was ok with it this way but knowing her she would say it was fine and then only use the stamp on envelopes being sent to me.</p> <p>[attach=2453/15/nzl3ve.448x600.image.jpeg] </p>
