Yes, that got me too.

"Pete's Cafe" is correct; but see, "Salad's, Roast's, Snack's".

It reminds me of that convoluted relay of possessives that sometimes forms the subject of third-hand stories, such as, "My girlfriend's sister's friend's..."

"The roast's salad's snack's..." what?! what?! what?! Don't leave us hanging!

Oh wait, you mean "Salad's", "Snack's," etc.?

Hello! I just discovered this blog via a column in the Seattle Times; and the subject is right up my alley. Apostrophe abuse is one of my pet peeves too; and there seems to be no stopping it! Even professional writers and newspaper editors coming up with headlines are doing it! I pretty well freaked out not long ago when I saw a newspaper headline somewhere relating to something that "Arab's" are said to be doing--as if "Arab" was an acronym or something. It especially annoys me that I've done this myself a couple of times by accident (LOL)...
