More Martini's

Jacob writes:

This is the front page of the drink menu at Sidetrack Grill in Ypsilanti, MI. Their burgers are some of the best in the country (says GQ and Oprah's Best Friend Gail King), but their grammar could use some work.

The Mangos' at Delray

(Thanks, Chris!)

Kid's Eat Free!

Melissa took this photo in a Phoenix, AZ restaurant and remarks:

"Kid's" appears twice on this ad. At least they were consistent!

Fudge-a-roo's

Liam writes:

I took these pictures at work. I would like to know who "Fudge a-roo" is and why these cookies are his.

Two Martini's

Anne writes:

The first image is from a Friday's restaurant in the Chicago airport, the second is from the Capital City Brewery in Washongton, D.C. What is it about martinis and apostrophe abuse?

April Sale Is Event?

Heidi writes:

Just found this one - you can see "Sale's" is misspelled, and the 2-digit years have apostrophes behind them instead of in front.

Not Just For Kid's

Kimberly spotted this abuse on a menu at Cafe Berlin in Columbia, MO:

Walkin's Welcome

Kevin sent in this variation of the more frequently spotted "Walk-in's Welcome":

Greek Custom's House

Costas writes:

On a recent visit to the town of Nafplio, the old capital of Greece, I was pleased to find that apostrophe abuse reached well back into the last century and was featured prominently in the city's port buildings, welcoming everyone to Mr. Custom's house.

I WANt Yard's To Mow

Julie writes:

I found this sign posted at a gas station somewhere in Missouri. I'm not sure if the yard owns something or if it's a contraction...
Either way, I had to take a picture while the locals glared at me.

The Best Scooter's On The Market

...if only this story was referring to the one scooter that is the best...



(Thanks, Grammar Police!)

Troops and Veteran's

Jennifer took the photo below in Imperial, VA PA.

I don't understand why one group gets a free apostrophe and the other doesn't...

Thank's Veteran's

Dave writes:

Here’s a submission for you. I shot this picture outside of Honda of Cookeville, a motorcycle shop. It’s been there for years, but I’m not aware of it having appeared online.

Guppy's to Puppy's

Clare writes:

I just found your blog and was temporarily crushed as the shop that's infuriated me for years has finally closed down and I can't take a photo.

Glamorous Look's Salon

Pete writes:

Perhaps the business license is held by Mr. Glamorous Look. (Sounds like a professional wrestler.) Note that only one woman is allowed inside at a time.

Tire's and Heaven's Golden Gate's

Andy points out that:

...you can buy tire's in Waynesboro, VA, and make your way to Heaven's Golden Gate's in Staunton, VA.

Ascension Edition's I & II

Eagle-eyed Andrew spotted this error on this CD cover of The Major Works of John Coltrane:

Saturday's and Sunday's

Jenny couldn't resist

...taking a picture of this flyer I saw at Uncle Dave's, a bar and restaurant in Laytonsville, MD.

Where Your Money Buy's More!

Pablo writes:

I own a sign business, and had designed the signage for this store. They took my design proof to another sign company, where, it turned out, their money actually bought them LESS.

Lunch & Dinner Shift's at Taco Bell

(Thanks, Pete!)

Snow Toy's

(Thanks, Faith!)

Pre-Order You'er Balloon's

Allison writes about a sign she spotted in a mall in Visalia, CA:

I tried to explain that I felt this sign to be atrocious on several levels, but they just looked at me like I had two heads. In retaliation, I had my little brother snap a picture on our way out. My favorite part is that "you're" is spelled wrong on top of being misused, and not to mention the extra apostrophe in "balloons".

...and directly under what appears to be a framed print of The Last Supper! For shame!

Wow! Extensive (but consistent!) abuse on a work truck

Sharon writes:

Spotted on a street in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia - this truck flaunts its disregard for appropriate apostrophes...over and over and over again.

Welcome Boaters's

Alexa spotted this sign at a restaurant on Coeur d'Alene Lake in Idaho.

Thoma's English Muffins

Stephen writes:

I don't know who this Thoma person is, but I'm pretty sure these weren't just some sort of dollar store knock-off...
