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."
Ah, but maybe the night belongs to the '80s. But I guess that would make it "'80s's Night".
ReplyDeleteBut many times, people will type things like "I love the 80's," which is wrong. It should be "I love the '80s."
