My favorite part of this poster isn’t the apostrophe, or the unnecessary quotation marks, or even the “Harry up”… it’s the “FREE FREE FREE!!!” header.
Links and visuals illustrating an orthographic pet peeve.

Did you ever get the urge to put something like this on your gravestone, just so that everyone was baffled by reading it for the next 500 years?
Just think how much ink could have been saved, not just by leaving out the useless punctuation marks but the somewhat redundant Harry (obviously meaning “hurry”) up “and rush”…
and the meaningless header of course.. *mind boggles*
Harry Up owns the company, along with his brother, Rush. Ergo, the problem was capitalization.
