North Yorkshire: 'Proper punctuation' to return after apostrophe ban

Apostrophes will remain on road signs across North Yorkshire, it has been confirmed.

@Cdespinosa @Probertd8

The actual standard is https://doi.org/10.3403/BS7666 . for reference. #TheRegister is pointing to some guidelines associated with the standard.

Alas, this seems to be #journalism by first search result. Although at least they put in more effort than the BBC did to try and fact check if this really was what the standard says.

The Register
@JorgeStolfi that's the classical SQL exploit with unsanitised inputs & that xkcd is why I included the #bobbyTables hash tag 😉

They should be sanitising their database inputs rather than change the input data!

"A local authority has announced it will ban apostrophes on street signs to avoid problems with computer systems."
