Retailer mocked for T-shirt mistake
<p>A supermarket giant has been criticised after a customer spotted a grammatical error on the retailer’s Father’s Day T-shirt.</p>
<p>The angry shopper took to <a href="https://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/3275585-To-think-Asda-need-a-kick-up-the-arse-for-this?pg=1" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><em>Mumsnet</em></strong></span></a>, to rant about the misplaced apostrophe on the $7 shirt.</p>
<p>The shopper explained that they were annoyed over the “errant apostrophe” in the word “Dad’s”, which should’ve read “Dads”.</p>

<p>“I do think large retail chains ought to have someone checking their products for spelling, punctuation and grammar,” the user wrote.</p>
<p>“I’m sure most parents would prefer it if their children were not exposed to such errors, given that they’ll be tested on them all the way up to A level …”</p>
<p>Another user revealed her plans to show the photo of the shirt to her Year 5 English class.</p>
<p>“I’m 95% sure they will know what’s wrong with it straight away.”</p>
<p>One Mumsnet user suggested Asda should employ a proofreader, while another posted on their social media accounts to call the supermarket out on their mistake.</p>
<p>"I've posted x2 on their FB page and tweeted them, I'll revisit and keep at it when I've got a minute and report back if I get responses," the user wrote.</p>
<p>"Join in anyone?"</p>
<p>An Asda spokesperson told <em>Fabulous</em>, “We dropped the ball here, and not the apostrophe, which was a mistake.”</p>
