What gets me is those people who get carved wooden name tags at places like the county fair.....and there’s an apostrophe: The Jone’s House

What gets me is my mother, who used to be so good at proper English (yes, she taught it along with math and history for high school).

Now it seems she has been dumbed down by the idiots out there, that she thinks her “Smith’s” is correct (it was a gift; ma and pa didn’t have it made themselves). I am flabbergasted that I am arguing about this with her now.
