Tony's

is the name of a pizzeria. "Tonys" is the name of the Broadway Theatre awards show every year. STOP calling it "the Tony's." It's wrong and you look foolish. Get it together, folks!

Then Ben mentioned Tony's.  I never said Tony's

How do you know if Ben mentioned Tony's or Tonys?  And how do we know if you said Tonys or Tony's?

 

We only see what's written.

Tony's merits are absolutely worth discussing.

I'm so glad this thread was started. It's a very important issue.

First it's the grammar and spelling that goes, then it's the world.

The end of times is nigh.

The American Theatre Wing's Tony Awards.

We shall use the proper name from now on.

I think this thread is an appropriate way to address the issue. On the other hand, exchanges like this, in threads that aren't otherwise about grammar and spelling, irritate me:

Poster A: I think Fun Home will win a lot of Tony's.

Poster B: Win a lot of Tony's what?

I always feel like saying to Poster B, "are you really so stupid that you can't figure it out, or are you just being a dick?"

But I don't do that, because I don't want to compound Poster B's disruption of the thread with my own pet peeve.

Serious theater discussion?

Nothing happening here folks. Move it along.

Yet no one ever says Oscar's...why?

[SonofRobbieJ]

Posted: 5/28/15 at 5:06pm

Two things:

'or are you just being a dick?' 

The answer to that is always 'yes'.  

And two...I find Tony Yazbeck disappointingly smooth.

Me too.  It's a CRIME.

Let's call these awards The Antoinette Perryses's.
