I spotted this sign outside a clothing store in Greenville, NC. Ignore the fact that “men” is already plural, but I found it strange that the maker didn’t use apostrophes for both genders. If you’re going to misuse apostrophes, at least misuse them consistently.
I want to go to there!

We won't even mention that that's not an apostrophe: It's a "foot mark."

When I read the sign I was certain it was found in some non-English-speaking country. Shocking that it is from the U.S. — Laura (at http://terriblywrite.wordpress.com)

Its obvious Ladies doesn't require an apostrophe….there is an e before the s! Men's is correct because there is an s on the end of ladie's. I mean ladies'. What was the rule again?
