I have a major apostrophe peeve. I saw it so often on signs when I lived in the South that whenever I see them misused, it makes my blood boil.

My other peeve is the use of quotation marks for emphasis. "NEW" and "IMPROVED!" As one comedian pointed out, this use of quotation marks can mean one of two things: either you mean it ironically, or you're quoting from another sign.

I just hate misspelling something that I should have gotten right the first time, and your post just made me have a D'OH! moment. I do feel your pain, though. I mean, don't people have dictionaries or know how to look this stuff up? Or when in doubt, spell it out?

Dig this (http://pics.livejournal.com/ghoulsis/pic/000081a2)... one of my very favorite, unintentionally-funny signs from my old town. I swear it's not photoshopped.

That is funny, and yet so sad at the same time.

Imagine my glee when I figured out I could go back and fix my misspelling! *does happy grammatical dance*
