Saw this at Home Depot and couldn’t resist sending along the pic.
Apostrophe misuse should be reason enough to land on the naughty list.

I really like this lawn decor otherwise, but alas, they were all wrong and I’ll be damned if I put this violation of the English language in my yard.

Do you know which federal legal holiday is observed on Nov. 11?

Here are the choices:

1.) Veteran’s Day
2.) Veterans’ Day
3.) Veterans Day

Retail stores are having Veteran’s Day sales this weekend in time for what many calendars tell us is Veterans’ Day. And, according to the federal government, this Sunday also happens to be Veterans Day.
