Emma Watson has heard the siren of the grammar police, and she responded in the best way.

The “Beauty and the Beast” star sported a temporary tattoo in support of the Time’s Up movement for the Oscars Vanity Fair after party on Sunday, but unfortunately it was missing a very important apostrophe.

“Fake tattoo proofreading position available,” she said on Twitter Monday after being corrected countless times. “Experience with apostrophes a must.”

Several people online noticed that Watson’s ink to support the popular initiative was missing the apostrophe in “Time’s.” Hey, it could have been intentional, as the hashtag #TimesUp omits the punctuation mark.

Here’s a close up of that temporary tat:

Despite her tattoo’s punctuation error, Watson’s message was loud and clear (as it was on Oscars night at the Dolby Theatre): Time is up on gender inequality.

The Brown University alum has been a supporter of the movement since it began at the beginning of the year, and has been an advocate of the movement in the U.K. as well.
