Mis-use of apostrophes are my pet peeve. One of the more egregious examples was a “dirt yard” on the main street of Stafford, TX: Jone’s Dirt Yard. I laughed every time I passed that corner and I never did meet “Mr. Jone”. LOL. Because I made fun of that, I now have a DIL who misuses the apostrophe in our family name — I mean inserts it where it doesn’t belong. You can’t correct your DIL like you would your own child.
