This is insane. Legally (like anyone pays any attention to these laws)
you
cannot do simple things like fitting an electrical socket to your own
home,
but you can change the brakes on your car. The second one is FAR more
dangerous to other people!

It's not about safety. The electrician's union owns more government
lawmakers than the mechanic's union.

Which electrician and which mechanic are you referring to?

Did you read his post at all? He referred to a union, not an individual.

Doesn't stop him from being a serial apostrophe abuser, however.

That should have been electricians' union and mechanics' union, as any
skoolboy knows.


Almost nobody puts apostrophes at the end of a word anymore.


Some dumbclucks do it all the time. Even when it's not required. And
others don't do it when it IS required. English at its finest, eh?


It's not necessary unless you're a robot.
