the consensus seems to be 'Type the Supplier's address into this box'..
Many thanks for this but should the word supplier be followed by an
apostrophe? I was under the impression that plural nouns should only be
employed for certain short words and when the word is a title of a play
or quoted word. Can anyone shed any light on this...
