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!
