Those mean playoffs!
This was in a revolving photo frame at the concierge desk at the Beverly Hilton in LA. I can’t decide if the playoff is abusive, or being abused by someone or something.

Multilingual Abuse
This is a street sign in El Rancho New Mexico. As I recall from my high school profesora, Spanish can only make the possessive through the … de los … construction, and the plural with an -s. Here we see either redundant possession, “Roybal’s’s street”, or leakage of the habit of using an apostrophe-s to make a plural into Spanish.
Abbreviation of Microbrewskies?

How to not get the vote
“This was mailed to my mom as a political ad. A man running for governor of WV that misuses apostrophes is not getting our vote!”
(Thanks, Jennifer!)
Perhaps someone inadvertently picked up the apostrophe?
(Thanks, Debra!)

Maybe her name is Hobby, and she’s awesome.
Grammar is for the elites.
Plural? Possessive? Who knows? When in doubt, sprinkle generously (but never liberally) with apostrophes.
The Emergency Exit’s Only Thank You
Saw this at a marina in Canada. At least one of the apostrophes was used correctly…
