Cornwall Council has officially decided to add an apostrophe to Land’s End, after clarification was needed due to proposed boundary changes.

Punctuation pedants and lovers of good grammar will be excited by the news after seeing shops like Waterstones drop its apostrophe, leaving its former employee tweeting about a new career “moonlighting as a tall comma”.

If you’ve seen a placename with a missing or rogue apostrophe, we’d like to hear from you.
