Hi, I live in Worcester, England and I am preparing to teach a lesson on the correct use of the apostrophe. I wanted to include a few images of incorrect uses in my powerpoint presentation and this one caught my eye.

Hi Kathryn --
Feel free to use the photo, as long as there's a link or "courtesy" statement somewhere in the presentation.
