What’s not to love about this poster? Photo taken today in Mumbai.
My favorite part of this poster isn’t the apostrophe, or the unnecessary quotation marks, or even the “Harry up”… it’s the “FREE FREE FREE!!!” header.

I originally wasn’t going to post this one, but I’ve gotten at least 3-4 emails about it, so here goes…

I don’t understand how a TV show can create an entire clothing line, one that runs through two seasons, then create merchandise for it to sell on their website, and not one person realizes that “Clothes over Bro’s” is completely WRONG. It hurts to watch, and I love One Tree Hill.

The CW, in addition to airing all manner of shit, let Sophia Bush’s character get away with [this]. Ack.
This bit from Go Fug Yourself sums it up:
For serious? I get that TECHNICALLY her clothing line COULD be called “Clothes Over Brothers,” and TECHNICALLY “bro’s” is a contraction thereof, but that’s a lie. It’s apostrophe misuse and I object.

I think that we should just go ahead and add a new definitive use for apostrophes: to indicate “this word is foreign, but I’m not quite sure how to spell it, if I should use an accent, or which accent exactly I’d have to use.” This covers treats like a’ la mode as well as this particularly unusual specimen I photographed in Indiana.

Found this ornament at Target in the 75% off section. I would totally buy this for my son’s English/Grammar teacher, if he wasn’t still in Pre-K.
Of course, if the teacher who received the ornament broke off the text and used it to measure, that object would indeed be the teacher’s rule. 🙂
