A legend for our days, to encourage us in these times of vulgarity and "Live Laugh Love". For example, one of my neighbors had a piece of stone engraved with his family name and placed in his front yard. There is an apostrophe where it doesn't belong. When I go by, I imagine running over "The Stark's" with a truck to erase it and then buying him a new engraving.

Only one of the Starks put in the order and they wanted it to be their personal stone, hence the switch from plural to possessive.

Is that person the head of a Scottish clan? Otherwise, that person cannot be The Stark, I'll bet my tartan on it.
