Grammar Heffernan

I must ask who is responsible for "The Royal Heffernan's" label? "Heffernan's" is a possessive adjective; "Heffernans" is a plural noun.

The current label begs the question, "The Royal Heffernan's... what?"

In contrast, "The Royal Heffernans" indicates a particular group of individuals distinguished by name, character, and accomplishment.

Grammatical fine points notwithstanding, I am pleased to be part of this illustrious band.

  1. I have no doubt that this grammatical error was almost certainly perpetrated by Colin.
