medawyn Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I saw this sign on my walk through the park this morning: "All dog's on leashe's at all time's and under controll!" When in doubt, add an apostrophe to everything and double some letters, too. :svengo: 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liz CA Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 The shocking this is that nobody was able to correct this before the sign was printed. When I was a kid I used to rely on public signage to learn spelling of certain words...after all, if it's written in public it had to be correct...

When in doubt, add an apostrophe to everything and double some letters, too. :svengo: Well, I'm going to give points for not using 'es on leashe's. or maybe I'll take points away. There is a defunct business here called Fox'es. Sign is still funct, though. :lol: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeacherZee Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Sometimes my colleagues and I wonder if our students have a box of sprinkles titled apostrophes and when they don't believe their work is good enough they get out the apostrophe sprinkles and sprinkle them all over their writing. Kind of like you hide imperfections on a cake with more icing :lol: ETA to fix a spelling error because it makes me cringe to make fun of others grammar when I can't spell 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 That almost makes one want to carry colored duct tape and sharpies around to correct signs as a public service ;) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happi duck Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Since, I'm assuming, it is a city sign I might drop a note in the town suggestion box. Since it's more than one error I think it's worth correcting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plansrme Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I am reviewing some legal documents for a major governmental agency in my fair state, and some professional writer who went before me has used its' repeatedly throughout each document. Not its or it's, but its'. I am sure that's taken down both kittens and puppies. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Word Nerd Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I thought from your title that you may be talking about Exploding Kittens, and I was jealous that you got your card deck already.

Ausmumof3 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Those poor kitties... They're probably bring chased by the dogs because the dogs' owners can't figure out what the sign meant. Okay...

FaithManor Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I just looked again to see if it was better after trying to be "open minded". Nope, I'm a grammar fascist and still condemn it! :D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happily, now you know not to use an apostrophe to pluralize most words. See what an easy lesson that was? :hat: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
