Could you just please, as a small donation to the Save Shoe's Sanity Fund, for the love of Pete just STOP USING THE APOSTROPHE 'S' TO INDICATE THE FREAKING PLURAL, OK?! IT DOES NOT INDICATE THE PLURAL. IT INDICATES THE POSSESSIVE, AND ONLY THE POSSESSIVE.

...The preceding public service announcement was brought to you by a certain discovery within a footnote during the current reread of James Loewen's Lies My Teacher Told Me, an impassioned critique of American classroom scholarship. Thank you.

The thing is, it's not just on the handmade signs anymore. This crap shows up more and more often in actual, legitimate media, the kind where you would assume intelligence is a perquisite for creating it. Scary.
