Its/It’s confusion in Melbourne
Burke road in Camberwell, Melbourne, Australia, is a busy shopping precinct. Obviously this realtor or the signwriter (or both?) are too busy to check the correct use of its and it’s.
My ready?
My man bought a new barbecue cleaning brush with replaceable heads.
“Now your ready to clean your grill”?
‘Anything’ is an odd first name…
In Newcastle, Oklahoma
Bra shop owner snaps at apostrophe correction note
A sign was seen in the window of “Perfect Fit”, a bra shop in Keynsham, Bristol. It said:
“Perfect Fit Celebrate’s
20 years of supporting women.
Thank you to our customers for supporting Perfect Fit”
I even e-mailed a photo of the offending sign to the shop. The owner printed out my e-mail, and stuck it in the shop window, along with their own comments (attached) said I was sad, and had nothing better to do than correct other peoples grammer [sic].
Boy’s Only
Found this at the local craft store… no wonder it was on clearance.
Maybe his name is “Steak Sandwich”
Taken at the Lorain county Fair in Ohio. Carneys don’t know much about apostrophes I reckon.
(AA: Technically this is valid; the apostrophe is showing the omission of the ‘E’)
Allway’s
A friend found this in NYC and sent it to me.
Siracusa Bag’s
This is a shop in the ultra-trendy part of Siracusa, Sicily. Heinous. I don’t really need to add anything, so I?
Nice pic though, with a bag’ looking cool as she leaves with a brand new bag’.
Resturarant menu
I’ve deleted part of the name of the restaurant but check out these headings! See also spelling of ‘complimentary’ and ‘risotto’.
