Wow, old thread. I've been away from this guild for so long that I don't even remember seeing this one when it was new.

I find it even more annoying when shops misuse the apostrophe inconsistently. For example, "CD's" on one stand and then "CDs" on another. (I suppose the idea is to have both versions so that at least one of them will be right. in this case, it's true that one is right, but it also makes it more obvious that the other is wrong.)

Well, it's even worse when there's two versions on the ONE sign.

AHHHH!!!

There is nothing relaxing or calming about that sign. I saw it today and said, "I must tell the Grammar Guild!"
