Barber's Greengrocers' Apostrophes

Made me happy to photograph so many inappropriate apostrophes on one sign!!
Fantastic!
I think there should be a national campaign to stamp out the inappropriate apostrophe.

Blame Microsoft, the Press, anyone but teachers; they are horrified too!

I do think people should be able to speak & write their own language! The other thing that bugs me is there, their & they're - misused all the time, especially on social media!

@jqf hahaha :) And the Internet :D

It made me smile in the morning :) Fav :) But first I thought it was supposed to be humorous, so it deliberately followed "barber's" pattern ;) I guess I'm too optimistic about grammar knowledge among English users :P

Ha! saw this on the signs thread. Apostrophes are something that really bug me, being an ex English teacher! You might like 'Eats, Shoots and Leaves' by Lynne Truss. :-)
