It’s/Its Confusion: Marriott Cardiff
A sign in the elevator of the Marriott Hotel in Cardiff, Wales advertising their restaurant. It reads “Its arrived and its Centrale!!” It SHOULD have read “It’s arrived and it’s Centrale!!”

New look, and easy submissions!
Pardon our dust; we just moved ye olde apostrophe abuse to wordpress, and have made it super-easy for you to submit your own abuses to the blog.
Click on the “Submit Your Own Abuse” tab at the top of the page to submit a photo and description — it’ll go into a moderation queue and should be up in a few days (rather than a few months)!
Have you emailed in a photo recently and it hasn’t been posted? Feel free to re-submit via the new method.
Thanks!
