Sign's With punctuation Error's

[goo_mason]

On every 'next customer' divider in every Tesco store in the UK, it says "Dont forget your Clubcard".

My daughter spotted that when she was 9 - she's now a complete grammmar and apostrophe Nazi (rather like her old Dad!)

I'll have to get a photo... but there's a pub in town with a large mirror at the back of the stage which says:

Jerry,s
Music Bar

edit... actually, that 's' which comes after the comma is also a capital 'S', so some equally unknown reason

I sincerely hope that this sign does not have a punctuation mistake and a spelling mistake!

Yes. The Oxford comma debate.

Quite so. Pro here.

If more than 1 Earl has possession then it's Earls' Court

No! How can you suggest such a thing.

I especially like it when a sign hedges its bets - something like "Teas and Coffee's". I've never quite worked out why people make lists and think that some plurals need an apostrophe and some don't.

Is that a stutter?

For the case where there is only one Thomas, is it "Thomas' seat" or "Thomas's seat"?

For the case where there is only one Thomas, is it "Thomas' seat" or "Thomas's seat"?

That's easy, for multiple Thomases it's Thomaseseses' seat
