Remember a few years ago when everyone said that they were going to move to Canada but no one really did? Well, it's a good thing we didn't go because we would have had to put up with apostrophe catastrophes like this:
Art sent me this ad from the Toronto Star because he noticed that the apostrophe in "Fill 'er Up" is really a quotation mark. That's pretty bad, but the part that says "1000's of new and used cars" bothers me more.
I think it's time to eat another red, white, and blue cookie that's left over from our office's inauguration party.
Thanks, Art!

ugh, the "1000's" represents one of my biggest pet peeves with incorrect grammar.
