I have always held the opinion that the main difference between stupidity and ignorance was that ignorance could be cured. Apparently not.
Readers please note: The lack of apostrophes in this post does not in any way indicate that I am opposed to their use.

Apostrophe abuse should be punishable by jail time.

Apostrophe abuse should be punishable by jail time. And no concurrent sentence's!  |

My friend who makes guitars routed out a beautiful wooden sign to be hung outside our door one year, with our family name.
It said, “The Waugh’s”
Now, I guess you could interpolate that it meant, “The Waugh’s place.”
But I have my doubts. We hung it up anyways.

A friend of mine has a side business of etching family names in large rocks to be placed in their yards. After seeing several in town, and wondering if he knew better, he brought the subject up once. He says he asks people if they're sure the want the apostrophe, and a fairly large number of people insist on it with a blank look of "why not"? Thus, stones all over town that say The Music's, The Smith's, or The Ford's.
