Daniel wanted to make fun of Stanford, so he sent in this photo:

One of the last places one might expect to find large-type, engraved in bronze apostrophe abuse is Stanford University. But sure enough, there’s this plaque, placed very prominently at the Taube Tennis Center.

…though, that “Row Is of Champions”…

Randy spotted this one at the courthouse yard in Jackson, Missouri:

Marisa spotted this sign in Bedford, TX:

Dorothy writes:

It seems like most of your posts are official signs, not handwritten ones, but I think this one’s extra special because the combination of a misused apostrophe and a badly placed period make it seem like Mad Libs!

…sign spotted at a mall…

(Thanks, Courtenay!)

Beth found this sign on the Atlantic City Boardwalk:

Well, at least the sign is consistent in its abuse.

Anne sends in these two abuses spotted in Boulder, CO:

This first one looks like a lazy rebranding of “Fantastic Sam’s“… which, I just realized, dropped their own apostrophe! (What?!)

Cliff spotted this sign in the Arena District in Columbus, Ohio:

Lois writes:

I don’t know where this school is, but I wouldn’t bother going back after vacation, if I were a student who wanted to learn anything about grammar, homophones and apostrophes, at least. I found the sign in a file of photos e-mailed to me by my ever-alert sister, who shares the gene for ferreting out apostrophe and other abuses in the English language.

Thanks to Jane for sending in this trio…

…that last one *could* technically mean “Lot is For Sale” if it refers to just one lot.
