Readers of Harper's Magazine refer to their magazine as Harper's; Harper's Bazaar readers refer to their glossy as Bazaar. The only possible confusion might between HM and a British title "Harper's and Queen", which many a reader simply calls "Harper's". With that latter, they have a case, but with Bazaar? Not really. All this really means is that the idiots are winning!
