This was on a sign this weekend outside of Kennet in Philadelphia.

I wonder what Thursday owns?

The UK is at it again – this one was seen in Uckfield, Sussex, recently. There is an e-mail address – tempting!!

Wonder what all these shoes own?

Preventing Apostrophe Abuse

Posted on December 2, 2011 by Readers Like You

So this isn’t actually an abuse of apostrophes, but an attempt to teach children right from wrong when it comes to contractions.

A first grade teacher wrote a super cute book called “I Can’t Said the Ant” and it’s now up against non-grammar-related books on MeeGenius. If you guys could throw a few votes her way, it might have a chance of getting published.

Think of the children.

So you’re saying the “Chopped BBQ” and the “Chicken & Queso” belong to the Stuffed Potato?

I went to dinner with a group of fellow law students recently. We were greeted at the front door by this sign. Since all of us are nerds, we immediately noticed the mistake. Naturally, I had to take a picture of this classic misuse of an apostrophe.

Banana’s at Trader Joe’s?

At first, I was wondering if this was just an ironic placement of a cute banana drawing, or if it was actually apostrophe abuse, but the more I looked at the sign the more convinced I was that I have come across yet another apostrophe-illiterate person! I just expected MORE of Trader Joe’s . . .
