because someone had placed a flier, trying to sell furniture:

4 chair's, 2 table's, i set of bunk bed's all in good condition's.

i must have ground about an inch off my teeth reading that. i feel dirty just typing it on here :(

Oh my word.

I think I might have to hide this post just so I can sleep tonight.

Greengrocer's apostrophe, been around for years.

Was your rant almost exactly identical to Stew's one in TMWRNJ where he shouts "Show me! Show me this carrot which owns 10p, of course not it can't possibly exist, a capitalist carrot!"

it was along those lines, yes

although not quite as vitriolic

Just take tippex round and tippex out all the apostrophes.

This will probably annoy them for unknown and irrational reasons.

an flier??

was reading a menu somewhere (may have been in london) and they'd put an apostrophe before every s.
was horrible

I also think we need to start shooting people who use the word loose when they mean lose

YES

an flier was the result of changing advertisement to flier, not bad spelling.
