    SK--people don't know the difference between the plural, possessive, or contractive! People program machines... My favorite misuse of the apostrophe to date (and I've been collecting them for over 30 years), is the sign in a window in my neighborhood, advertising the following service: Re'sume's. Oh, the irony.

    I appreciate the presence of another GGG! Have you seen this? http://angryflower.com/aposter.html My personal favorite. I found my 6 year old nephew studying the poster on the side of my frig one day. I hope I've saved one child from lawless apostrophe abuse! L.
