This is priceless.

You’re is a contraction of YOU ARE. It’s that simple.

Unnecessary Apostrophe

Found this little gem on the menu at Chef’s Kitchen on NYE. Great portobellos, bad English.

This is a perfect example of the unnecessary apostrophe in a pluralized noun. I especially like it because there are two other pluralized nouns that they didn’t add the unnecessary apostrophe to: PEPPERS and MUSHROOMS. Why, then, add an apostrophe to “extras?”

(Also, is it just me or does it seem like the question mark there ought to go outside the quotation marks? What’s the rule on that one..?)

Okay – I didn’t complain about the new Wal-Mart design or the fact that the new Pepsi mark changes from one can to the next and otherwise provides no visual interest at all. But, this new Sierra Mist packaging..? Are you kidding me?

Sierra Mist Re-design

Ugliest, most ineffective design i’ve ever seen. What were they thinking?
