Why no apostrophe for the beers?
maybe it's so people don't think that beer is one of their $10 meals. It sets it apart
Ok, if one wants to poke fun at apostrophe misuse, do not misuse the apostrophe. The "nice collection" shouldn't have an apostrophe in the plural of "apostrophes".
Whenever someone misuses an apostrophe, somewhere a proofreader cries…
I'm pretty sure that was a joke on the part of the submitter.
LOL why would someone even look at this site if they don't have a sense of humour.
This blog reassures me that this apostrophe abuse is widespread throughout the English-speaking world, and not isolated in the USA.
But somehow, that is no comfort at all, now that I think about it.
