Your vs. You're


Okay, kids, pay attention, because the adults don't seem to get it.

Your=ownership. In this case, the out belongs to you.

You're=you are. As in "You're out," which is what this idiot surely meant to say.

Many fails...


Way's, in addition to many other problems.


Taxi's


Guppy is to Puppy is.


Sign's

Blog Name Fail


Yeah, that's the full name of the blog. The Firefighters don't seem to own anything. Maybe they mean "The Firefighter Is," which would make an interesting name for a blog.

Plurals found on Google


Wow! Double fail!


Look at this one. They start off okay, and then suddenly forget our little rule.


These guys are advertising stupidity.


I'm not saying anything.


Maybe they meant "No food, drink, or sweet is to be taken into the toilets." I doubt it, but one can always hope.


Again, maybe they meant "No BBQ is permitted."

I think all of the people who wrote these need to hear our little rule. Everyone! "We will never use an apostrophe to indicate a plural."

From another friend


Another friend of mine posted this. Say it with me, everybody. "We will never use an apostrophe to indicate a plural." Yes, this should say classes.

From a friend...


Hey, my friend, I hope you don't mind too much, but I'm putting your post on here. It's all in good fun. :)
Blazer's should say Blazers, and your should say you're.

Car Wash


Let's all say this together: "We will never use an apostrophe to indicate a plural."

Signs on Houses

I haven't gotten any pictures, for fear of being chased off with a shotgun, but I love signs on houses that indicate who lives there. They almost ALWAYS use an apostrophe when it isn't necessary.

How many signs on houses have you seen that say:

The Smith's?
The Johnson's?
The Peterson's?

Yeah, unless the house belongs to a guy called "The Smith," this is wrong. It should either say The Smiths, indicating simply who lives there, or The Smiths' (or The Smiths's) indicating that the Smiths (plural) own the house.

From a dating site...


One of the best things about joining a dating site is finding all of the people I could never date because of their poor grammar. Here, let's just focus on that silly apostrophe.

Another old favorite

I couldn't find a video, but there was this ad for LA Boxing, which began with these words on your screen: "At your old boxing gym's..."

Nice.

I didn't even know that Monday had children!


Monday has kids! Who knew? You know, I wonder if they meant to say that on Mondays, kids eat free. Hm...

Hand Tied


I think this speaks for itself.

Condo's


Condo is for rent? Condo owns something called "For Rent?" I don't think so.

Fo' Shizzle

The Frizzles were throwing a party. Here is the invitation.

Not a fail, you say? Wrong. If the party is at their house, it should read "Summer Celebration Party at The Frizzles's" or "...at the Frizzles'."

Look it up. Unless the host is called "The Frizzle," this is wrong.

Also, are the words "celebration" and "party" both necessary?

Coffee Pod


Seen at a local Coffee Shop. (The Pecan Chicken Salad is delicious.)

It begins

People don't know how to use apostrophes. I'm here to show the worst examples that I can find of this. Here are a few signs I've read that inspired this.

"Ladie's Day"

"To all employee's..."

"80's Night"

I know what you're thinking. "80's night is correct!" No, it isn't. In that word, the part being abbreviated is the "19," and the decade does not own anything. Therefore, it should read "'80s Night."
