Or not.
Will this madness never end?

Nobody know’s how to use apostrophe’s anymore. Its frustrating, and Im shocked.
Probably not – and it seems to get worse every year.
You would think that, for the amount of money a company has to spend on their marketing campaign, something as obvious as a misused apostrophe would be noticed.
You would think! But I have scads of examples (already posted or waiting in the queue) of similar advertising errors.
What a world!
Indeed a disaster. It does not speak well of the company.
