Triple Cheap Apostrophe Catastrophe

I hate the mall. Especially at this time of year. The crowds, the music, the conspicuous consumption... it all just makes me depressed. But I was meeting a friend for dinner at a mall near where I work the other day, and I was early, so I got sucked in to Primark , where I found some extremely cheap clothes. After I bought the clothes, I looked up Primark on Wikipedia and discovered that, not surprisingly, the company has been accused of poor labor practices. I felt even guiltier when I saw that the sign in front of the store featured three apostrophe catastrophes.




Next time, maybe I will try a charity shop.

Lucky Apostrophe Catastrophe

My husband and I stopped by an Irish pub in Nashua, NH, to check out the end of the Celtics game, and we sat right next to this blatant double apostrophe catastrophe.



The photo is a little hard to see, but it says, "Seven day's, Seven hour's."

Apparently, the bar itself was lucky because the Celtics won and moved on to the next round of the playoffs.

Slainte!

Ivy League Apostrophe Catastrophe

Breaking news: going to Harvard does not guarantee that one uses proper punctuation. I’m at a Harvard hockey game right now, and this is the ticket.



This gets an “F” from me.
