I'm not one to complain about folks grammar. I figure this is a forum for racers and fans, not English majors. But I admit that at times, I have corrected other folks grammar when quoting their posts. Perhaps I shouldn't take that editorial license, but if it doesn't change the meaning of the original post, what harm can it do, right?

Geese's Day is a weird festival that takes place every year in northern Spanish Basque village of Lekeitio. In this Spanish Fiesta brave contestants have to ...

The funny thing is....the spell check on my computer is trying to reject "Geese's".
