Welcome to Susan Week!  My old friend S2W has offered up a series of delicious Red-Pen-able photographs for our viewing pleasure.  We begin with what Susan calls “bad apostrophe usage with good common sense.”

It’s a double standard because employee’s are supposed to wash their hands, but employer’s don’t have to proofread their signage.  Of course, “employee” is a word that ends with a vowel, and “employer” is not, so, you know.

   Did you write “employee’s are supposed to wash their hands…” intentionally????

   I’m not sure I should even dignify that with a response. Yes, of course I did. “Employer’s” too!
