; question for all bluesky #grammar #pedants, as this irks me every year!
in the context of mother's day - a day to celebrate ๐ฎ๐น๐น mothers collectively - shouldn't the apostrophe be placed ๐ข๐ง๐ต๐ฆ๐ณ the s?
mothers ๐ฑ๐ญ๐ถ๐ณ๐ข๐ญ - thus surely it should be mothers' day not mother's day?

An extreme close-up vertical shot of a vibrant red amaryllis flower. The perspective looks deep into the centre of the blossom. Several stamens curve upwards, topped with heavy, fuzzy, golden-yellow pollen grains. The red petals feature subtle white streaks and a velvety texture. Sharp shadows of the stamens are cast onto the lower petals by bright sunlight. Text at the bottom reads "Word of the Day: blรกth" alongside the Pocket Ireland logo and website URL.

A moody, atmospheric view inside a dense forest. Dark, silhouetted tree trunks and tangled bare branches fill the frame, creating a chaotic but beautiful natural texture. Bright, golden sunlight bursts through the gaps in the wood, creating a misty, ethereal glow and distinct sunbeams that cut through the darkness. The lighting is high contrast, emphasising the warmth of the light. A graphic overlay at the bottom displays the text "Word of the Day: apricity" alongside the Pocket Ireland logo.

A vertical close-up photograph of a young evergreen tree branch. The sharp green needles are coated in white frost. The branch is backlit by bright winter sunlight, causing the ice crystals to sparkle and creating a glowing rim light around the needles. The background is a soft, out-of-focus blur of dark forest trees and a pale sky. Text at the bottom reads "Word of the Day: hyemal" alongside the Pocket Ireland logo and website address.

I just learned these things are called skeets. As a lover of words, I must say, I love it! #logophile
Hoydenish: An old English term for a boisterous and unruly woman.
Thanks to the National Portrait Gallery for a new word today. Especially one that is archaic and largely forgotten!

Thinking critically in the age of Artificial Intelligence and Human Stupidity: #logophile wp.me/pezD85-SS
A bright sun shines in a light blue sky over the top of the ferry where the crew steers/operates from. The floor of the ferry is green. There are 4 white seats (benches back-to-back) visible, creating what seems like a green path to the door that leads you indoors. Shadows are heavy on the floor by the benches, as the sun is casting such highlights.
A King's Co-Op Bookstore sticker sits on the top left corner of a black and gold hardcover book. The sticker is a white background with a pile of multicolored books jammed into a green bridge. The words 'King's Co-Op Bookstore' are written below the bridge in blue lettering. The book is black with a starry night depicted in gold color. There is a waterway on the bottom with rocky terrain on each side and a sailboat (of seemingly bygone days) floats in it. Above is a blank black space and then the night sky made up of varying sized dots giving the illusion of looking at constellations and the Milky Way. The title of the book - "THE DICTIONARY OF OBSCURE SORROWS" - is written in gold letters in the middle of the sky. The author's name -"JOHN KOENIG" - is also in gold upper case letters and has a box around it.
While we love the ferry and are so confident it is our favorite part of traveling while on it, bookstores hold a very close second place in our hearts.
