Forgot to post these two last week…

Unfortunately, DVD’s isn’t a typo. The editors of The New York Times Manual of Style and Usage ignore the rules of punctuation and prefer to use an apostrophe in plural forms such as DVD’s. Sigh…

They must use that same guide at the Smithsonian American History Museum.

(Thanks, Andrew and Amber!)

Yes, but what is relaxing its Holiday Inn?
And what would that even mean?

Spotted near Seattle Center.

(Thanks, Lisa!)

Someone should take one of the extra apostrophes from that One Punk ad and add it to “Seattles” in this sign advertising the Brooklyn’s Happy Hour.

…like a bratwurst, you mean?

Seen in Bavarian-themed Leavenworth, WA

Amy Kate Horn over at the Slog derides the punctuation in this ad, reminding us that “sloppy punctuation is neither anarchic nor cool.”

This Fox News broadcast misplaces the apostrophe in ’06.

(Thanks, Amber!)

Amazon’s product description for these Apple iPod Nano Lanyard Headphones contains apostrophe abuse (some its/it’s confusion: the first instance is correct), and as pointed out here, is pretty poorly written.

(Thanks, Lloyd!)

“They’re smart enough to make a robotic cleaning droid, but not to use an apostrophe…”

(Thanks, Eli!)

This abuse spotted at a Muhammad Cartoon protest, via Michelle Malkin.

(Thanks, Rich!)
