Taking a lovely stroll through Cambridge on Friday, I noticed a Gadsen flag waving in the wind.
Dont tread on me. I appreciate the sentiment, but I do not appreciate the lack of apostrophe.

In this case, the "Dont" is historically accurate. The original flag design shows the phrase without the apostrophe. Check out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gadsden_flag for more information.
Honestly, it's always bugged me, too :)

Thanks, Allison. Good to know that it's consistent. However, I am not above calling out historical punctuation errors. See entry on Goodnight Moon.
I have been to the camping trip and it was the most exciting time that I have got to spend there. I was literally wondering to go for the same trip once more but this time on somewhere else.
My punctuation has been highlighted for the full use of the norms and all values for the individuals. The height of the punctuation has been linked with all other traits for the success of the man in long run.
