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

Oh this one makes me twitch a little bit! Thank you for having this blog – this is totally a peeve of mine!
I especially like the lack of a space after the comma…
In the words of a friend of mine, “The apostrophe does not mean, ‘Danger! An “s” is about to end this word!’”
Yes, those American public schools certainly do great work!
*sigh*
I’m with Heather on this one. The apostrophe in “tell’s” is making me feel a little squeamish.
