Tell your friends… especially if their name is O’Neill, or O’Brien, or O’Leary, etc…

Introducing Keep the Apostrophe in Irish Names

Why? See below:

Those of you with an apostrophe in your name can relate. This is Microsoft’s new sign in experience and yet it can’t handle a simple apostrophe in my name and displays the HTML code instead. This is just one of countless examples.

To raise awareness my Dad and I have created Keep the Apostrophe in Irish Names.

Check it out, buy a shirt, read about, and share your experience having the little apostrophe in your name. And any feedback on the site is welcome, thanks!
