<DIV>In order to impose consistency in the “Virginia Woolf Bulletin”, we have
gone for Monks. If there ever had been monks – which there weren’t – there
surely would have been more than one, and we know that Monks’ is definitely
wrong.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I agree with Mark about the gate. Notices, esp. those in caps, tend
towards dropping punctuation as much as possible.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Take the Underground as an example: “As there is no such thing as an
‘official name’, it is impossible to be certain about the use of apostrophes,
hyphens, brackets and the like, especially where, as is sometimes the case, the
name of any particularly station at any particular time can appear differently
on the station building, platform nameboards, timetables, maps and
tickets.”</DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style='FONT-FAMILY: "Times New Roman",serif'>A
perennial question! Funnily enough, I just went through the ms of my biography
of Clive Bell (forthcoming April 2021) and put in the apostrophe throughout
because that is how it appears in a letter of Clive’s I quote. I have always
thought either was acceptable, and I think VW herself uses both. I was never
much swayed by the absence of the apostrophe on the gate as that seemed likely
to have been an aesthetic rather than orthographic
decision.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
