#apostrophe neglect

Proofreading signs should be everyone's responsibility.

This is the front of a new sign store in my area.

Let's hire a proofreader!

After alerting the owner to the error, he said he'd fix it, but as of yesterday, it still stands apostrophe-less.

Let's use an apostrophe correctly!

Let's not neglect apostrophes. Or perhaps Walmart is suggesting we allow sushi to roll? ;)

Some fun apostrophe neglect and grammatical boo-boos on the Roseanne reboot. For anyone who can't see it, the sentence reads: How are bees and ants living situations different? It's an oddly worded sentence to begin with.

Indeed, Urban Planet, indeed. *facepalm*

Update 7/30/17 Urban Planet has fixed the sign! A very friendly store employee (or potentially manager) at my local UP told me today that they "literally sent a bag of apostrophes" to fix all signage! I suggested he keep a bag of punctuation on hand so future potential errors could be fixed more easily. Unfortunately, only this one store has bothered to fix their signs.

Good for you, Urban Planet. You not only admitted your error, you fixed it!

Saw this from the bus coming home today. Thankfully, it's been incorrect for a long time and Google Maps had recorded the hilarity for posterity.

It's not a typo, it's a double fail.

What's the problem with this advertisement?

This is what happens when ad agencies don't hire proofreaders.
