Keep Dog's Away

It appears that "Keep Dog" is away, so feel free to tramp on this flower bed.



(Thanks, jj!)

Chicken Leg's Dinner

This photo was sent in by Lindsay, who

...found this sign outside Wrigleysville Dogs which, surprisingly, is not in Wrigleysville but in Wrigleyville.

Two bad there are two chicken legs in the sign, otherwise one could claim the sign meant "Chicken leg is dinner". ;)

I don't know who Athen is, but he has a nice Greek restaurant in Cologne, Germany.

Dessert's Bar

Dessert’s Bar is a restaurant chain in Malaysia. Apparently, it is a
place for desserts to hang out.

Bobs's Plubing - 15 Years Experiance

Marc spotted this awesome sign in a deli window:

What, no Tuesday's or Thursday's?

James writes:

This sign is outside the Sydney Swans Social Club. Which I'm a member of. They do a steak and a beer for $14 and they show football matches live on television. But against that, they're illiterate.

Meter's Takes Quarter's Only

Laurel writes:

This is in a parking lot in Cincinnati. As my brother pointed out, only 4 words on the sign and 3 of them are wrong.

Rose's, Tulip's

David writes:

Five words, each ending in S, and only two apostrophes? I wonder how this florist (in Henderson, north of Auckland, New Zealand) decides which words should be honoured in this way!

All Women's Bikini's

Julie writes:

Saw this at a store in Pacific Beach, CA. Can't expect Californians to know grammatical rules, now, can we?

Tool Boxe's (!?!?)

Anne writes:

I was at a store that attaches trailer hitches, as well as carrying various truck supplies, and saw this. All other signs were correct making it even odder to me

Your/You're confusion: You are Upgrade!

Chance writes:

I was at the Solomon Pond Mall in Marlboro, MA, to try out for Wheel of Fortune (didn't make it!). Waiting in line, I snapped a pic of this handmade sign at a Verizon kiosk in the middle of the mall. You are upgrade! It reminds me of "I am Error" from Zelda II.

Myspaces's

Really more "extra s abuse" than "apostrophe abuse", but still funny.
...unless there really is a site called "Myspaces".




(Thanks, Matt!)

Security has Umbrella's

Christine writes:

I found this in the mail room of my building. I was wondering what
item of Umbrella's security has?

Spider's, Earwig's, and Flea's... oh my!

Grammar Police noticed this ad in an Austin community newspaper:

Mr. Good Deal's Tool's

This submission comes from Joe, who

...saw (all pun intended) this at a dirtmall in NJ.

Chevy's for less: 2008 Malibu's

Bam spotted this billboard in Tullahoma, TN:

Pool Ball's

Billy spotted this sign in Portland OR, and wonders

...what exactly am I getting from the bartender again?

Anaheim chili's in Austin

Lara spotted this error in a restaurant in Austin, and was happy that her co-diners were just as appalled at the bad apostrophe as she was:



It's great to have shared passions. ;)

Crosspost: OlD people think adult's assume kid's know

William spotted this graffiti on the Williamsburg bridge and featured it on his own site, lowercase L:

Sangria's & Tapa's

Becky writes:

Despite having had two martinis and no dinner, I managed to spot a plethora of apostrophe abuse at the 6B Lounge in Beacon Hill (Boston MA).

Please blame the blurry camera phone picture on the ambiance and poor lighting.

Don't worry about the blurry picture, Becky. They made the same errors on their website:
