I saw this t-shirt in the Shakespearean Gift Shop at Southern Utah University. The would have correct grammar usage except they completely left out the necessary apostrophe.

My friend and I caught these signs somewhere in western Arizona on our way from San Diego to Lake Havasu. The “Perfume – Bike’s – Basket’s” one is particularly confusing.

Rhonda saw this case of apostrophe neglect
