i think the fact that “do not” is hyphenated is way funnier than the two apostrophe problems and the confusingly past tense “used.”
I am confused by the word spelled “T-H-E-S-E,” which appears in the sign. It seems to be missing hyphenation, quotation marks, or an apostrophe. Please assist. Meaning unclear.
So whoever you are Aaron, you’re amazing for posting this. I grew up in Steubenville and I am amazed at how often I have seen apostrophe misuse.
I live and work in Iowa now and honestly do not see it as often.
This is so wrong, in so many ways.
I shake my head in pure digust.
