Funny you should mention that. On the most recent Geek Cruise [geekcruises.com], I saw a Holland America shipboard merchant sign [stonehenge.com] that seemed to have excessive apostrophitis. I went into the store to complain, and the lady at the register looked at me like I was from Mars for complaining. Well, as much as a Holland America staff person is allowed to look at me like that anyway. {grin}
Perhaps people don't get how unprofessional that looks. Perhaps people don't even understand that it's wrong!
