    Grammar oops

    Watching something last night, where they had asked viewers to contact them if anything unusual happened at home during the broadcast. Such activity was then shown as a tickertape scroll along the bottom of the screen.

    Now what they MEANT to show was "Problems have been reported with dogs, including Karen from Cambridge's".

    What they ACTUALLY showed was "Problems have been reported with dogs, including Karen from Cambridge".

    I bet Karen from Cambridge was delighted.

    Is either one of those correct? Shouldn't it be, "Problems have been reported with dogs, including Karen's from Cambridge,"?

    I couldn't make my mind up between Karen from Cambridge's and Karen's from Cambridge.

    Either way, better than calling the poor girl a dog!
