My brother has a obsession with a misplaced apostrophe, on many occasions he has been found laughing in shop windows at bad grammar. Now I know this is sad and he is going through his midlife crisis, but as I have stated he is a big influence in my life and I now have started noticing advertising faux pas.
As and when I find them I will post them here for entertainment purposes only, and if anyone out there reads this and finds one of these, please email me or tweet me a picture and I will post and credit you with the finding.
