The really sad thing about this sign is that it’s at the entrance of the parking lot for my university’s main library and English department building–so you know a lot of librarians and English professors are slowly going nuts from having to see this every day.
I saw this sign while picking up stuff for dinner at the Pike Place Market:

My family went blueberry picking in MI this past weekend and found these signs. To put it simply: These farmers don’t allow weekends or dogs as freely as they allow apostrophes.

This shirt was a gift to all the RAs at the end of my last year as an
Resident Advisor. I love the idea behind the shirt, but I pretty much only wear it to bed because the apostrophe in RAs bugs me, especially since this shirt was designed by a woman with a masters degree.

This banner was put up outside this store in Austin, TX, just before Father’s Day and is still up. I’m not sure what Love Knives are (and I am scared to find out) but Father has them.
Thanks April!
