Spotted on television, shaking my faith in a medium known for its intellectual rigor!
Officer’s

Walgreens
Taken at the local Walgreens in Westminster, Colorado. I saw this banner and was standing looking at it for a while, until one of the clerks asked if she could help me. I told her it looked like there were two spelling mistakes in the banner, so she brought over her manager and I explained that there is no apostrophe needed in either word. They said that no one had ever caught that before. I felt shallow and pedantic (Peter Griffin).
Maybe they should consider adding education to the list.
I saw this in a mall parking lot in Bellevue, Washington. It was unintentionally perfect, so I had to take a picture.
Lobster Taco’s @ West End Bar and Grill
Saw this on a recent trip to Hell’s Kitchen (see! I used the appostrophe correctly there!)
Possessing Time
The store has it all. Spotted in Welland, Ontario.
The spare apostrophe is loose in Keynsham again
This sign appears every year in the window of a shop called “Car Bitz” in Keynsham, near Bristol.
I wonder if the owner is any relation to the Bra Shop owner?
Recovery Monday’s
This was found at a restaurant in St. Louis. I had to take a picture, because I hadn’t seen this much abuse in a long time.
Bill’s
From Subway in Sacramento
Food’s
This was taken in the snack bar at Jamaica Station in New York. There’s an abusive sign on the other side of the counter, too.
Commapostrophe Abuse
Posted in a Baskin Robbins/Dunkin Donuts store in the East Village, NYC. Not sure what they’re even trying for here.
