I-
I don't get it... O' in old english means "of" not "of the". So the way its written IS correct

Copy and paste from the official website would be 'SIGN O' THE TIMES' for the album and 'Sign o' the Times' for the song. |

Nor is what the orginal album says on the record, CD, in the rack listing etc. - they all use the peace symbol on mine. However in the SDE, it is a mix between peace symbols and o' - the latter as used in the text of the book.
.
All jokes aside, both are used and the grammar error there in is just a bit of fun. As an artist's name for their art, the grammar error is long known and irrelevant. |

The world's problems like climate change can only be solved through strategic long-term thinking, not expediency. In other words all the govts. need sacking!
If you can add value to someone's life then why not. Especially if it colors their days... |

I read these in a Yorkshire accent in my head and it's a joyful thing. In a strong Yorkshire accent, the definite article gets replaced by a glottal stop or glottal stop/t sound depending on whether the next sound is a vowel. It's a very very traditional county and most of the time the dropped "the" is found in things like "top o t'moor" or "on Ilkey moor bar t'hat", which adds even more comedy value. You might need to be from the UK to "get it", but it's hilarious. At least I think so.

Yes true. Some people from outside UK think all British accents are the same. Which is also hilarious. And if they could hear a proper Yorkshire accent they'd probably be thinking, "What language is this?".

I don't mean to shit all over this premise, since it is kinda fun, but...
It was never an O followed by an apostrophe. It was always an O in parenthesis. Even in the liner notes.
Nah, shit all over it. Please. It deserves it.
