Yep, Emma Watson has definitely seen all those stories about her tattoo's missing apostrophe.

On Sunday, the actress attended Vanity Fair's Oscars after-party with a temporary "Time's Up" tattoo on her forearm.

The following day plenty of news outlets, including Mashable, covered the tattoo.

In many of the headlines, though, the focus was mainly grammatical.

Clearly, those stories found their way back to Watson. Late on Sunday she took to Twitter to address the apostrophe issue head on.

Tattoo proofreader is a niche job, but someone's got to do it.
