Nacho’s what?
It’s two for one at Burger King!
I found this at a Burger King in Minnesota in 2013. First I thought I’d captured ONE mistake. I could hardly believe it when I found the SECOND.
Merry Christma’s!

If it’s spelled with one vowel, it needs an apostrophe. If it’s spelled with more than one, it does not. What is it about this that’s so hard for you to understand??
From San Mateo, California on a very busy main drag.

This pavement board stopped me in my rush to get to a meeting! And the two girls sitting next to it couldn’t work out what the problem was. I guess the apostrophe indicates that the ‘e’ is omitted.

Apostrophe Abuse and More at Walmart
The last I heard, apostrophes shouldn’t be used to make a plural. I do believe, however, that a hyphen is called for in “walk-ins.” Lastly, isn’t “walk-ins accepted” a better way to say “walk-ins available?”
