apple's for sale
One of my favorite signs...seen often at grocery stores. It proves that the writer has a rule...a rule to the effect that, if there's an s, put an apostrophe in front of it. It could be another rule (maybe he/she is saying: (an) apple (is) for sale - but I doubt it. Lots of yard signs with family names are made- paid for with good money- and the apostrophe is misused. But money spent reinventing the language is money well-spent, I guess. I'm not laughing at people - I swear - I'm just trying to figure it out. I use the blog to get this stuff down because I know it'll come around again.
