Popular Post bendejo Posted February 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 16, 2021 Be assured someone with an impressive resume (CV) was paid a lot of money for the concept of the re-branding, logo, colors ("the color green makes people want to spend money and eat noodles"), etc. And then there are acrobatics, like a company selling itself to itself to get out of a legal mess. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2530Ubon Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 's makes it a possessive. Does that make me possession of lotus (lotus's) once I enter the store? Then again, CP owns everything else in Thailand, I suppose it's just the next logical step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricTh Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) Smart? Not smart at all. Thais can't pronounce the s at the end of the word anyway. So whether it is Lotus or Lotus's, it 's still pronounced as Lotut. Might as well rebrand it to Lotut to make the spelling the same as the pronunciation.

What is wrong with the new logo that "a proper English speaker" should have a problem with? "Lotus's" correctly refers to an outlet belonging to Lotus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Monday Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 56 minutes ago, KannikaP said: A grand decision to put a totally incorrectly spelt logo, and then have to tell everyone that the last S means smart. Not very smart in my opinion. I don't think it is supposed to be spelled correctly (spelt is a wheat like grain eaten by hipsters????) instead a more expansive concept driven by marketing "experts" 99 percent wont bother pondering. I find it appealing. Thais will just now call it Ro-tas instead of dtetKo-Ro-tas and keep on shopping. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herfiehandbag Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 6 minutes ago, PGSan said: It is true that this is perfectly correct English orthography as is the alternate “ Lotus’ ”. Could this lead to a debate on the correct use of the apostrophe to show possession - both in the singular or plural! "Bon Oeuf" as a Frenchman might say. It warms the heart; could we widen the discussion to include and encourage the correct use of the semi-colon and perhaps even the ellipsis... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
