Daniel wanted to make fun of Stanford, so he sent in this photo:

One of the last places one might expect to find large-type, engraved in bronze apostrophe abuse is Stanford University. But sure enough, there’s this plaque, placed very prominently at the Taube Tennis Center.

…though, that “Row Is of Champions”… 😉

Randy spotted this one at the courthouse yard in Jackson, Missouri:

Marisa spotted this sign in Bedford, TX:

It seems like most of your posts are official signs, not handwritten ones, but I think this one’s extra special because the combination of a misused apostrophe and a badly placed period make it seem like Mad Libs!

…sign spotted at a mall…

(Thanks, Courtenay!)

Beth found this sign on the Atlantic City Boardwalk:

Well, at least the sign is consistent in its abuse.

Anne sends in these two abuses spotted in Boulder, CO:

This first one looks like a lazy rebranding of “Fantastic Sam’s“… which, I just realized, dropped their own apostrophe! (What?!)

Cliff spotted this sign in the Arena District in Columbus, Ohio:

I don’t know where this school is, but I wouldn’t bother going back after vacation, if I were a student who wanted to learn anything about grammar, homophones and apostrophes, at least. I found the sign in a file of photos e-mailed to me by my ever-alert sister, who shares the gene for ferreting out apostrophe and other abuses in the English language.

Thanks to Jane for sending in this trio…

…that last one *could* technically mean “Lot is For Sale” if it refers to just one lot.
