Look what Georgia Tech is rocking on its football home page!
You can click to enlarge, or you can take my word for it that Georgia Tech is abusing an apostrophe and demonstrating its (see what I did there? NO APOSTROPHE) ignorance of the difference between “its” and “it’s.”
Goooooo Jackets!

Bobby Tables found this delightful sign “in front of the brand new DC courthouse… Also, I should add that there were three of those in a row, all similarly lettered.”
I OBJECT, Bobby Tables!

Lisa says she isn’t sure this “counts” for RPB. I say this is why I have that fabulous “just wrong” category going on.
That’s just wrong, Lisa.

Susan guesses, “I think they passed on their savings by firing their copy editor.”
Yep, that looks about right, Susan!
There’s always room for… this stuff!

Chris found this one. Honestly, though, I’m not sure how much this one annoys me. “Pudding” is a word that has always struck me as inappropriately formal for the thing it represents. I prefer “puddin’,” but I’ll take “pudin” if it’s what I can get.
Which on earth were they thinking?

Dave gives us the rundown on this spectacular Newsweek oops.
Unless I miss my mark, it should be “With fewer than 2,000 students—whom the college describes as intellectually curious.” “Which” implies that the low number of students itself is an intellectually curious fact. I’m “intellectually curious” about why Newsweek can’t hire better copy editors!
I dunno, that sentence kind of makes me giggle.
