Spot the Superfluous Apostrophe

I have discovered a new game entitled 'Spot the Superfluous Apostrophe'.
Being the grammar nazi that I am, nothing shits me more than a superfluous apostrophe.

So, I'll get us started with "Leederville Auto's" and "Cheap CD's"
Let me know if you find any more.

On another note - Science/Law at UWA here I come!! : p

Cheerio,
C.

Ah - there is a subtle difference between nazism and obsession. I obsess quite healthily and positively over chocolate, but grammar-nazism adds balance to my life by allowing me to gripe over its dwindling standards in today's society. And as we know, balance is everything.

I hate misplaced and missing postrophies too, their really annoying. I'm also a grammar nazi, truth be told. :P

Note - It WAS intentional...

Isn't that great? I just realized, I can add "Mistakes Intentional" to the end of everything I write, and if I do make any, they seem deliberate, and I don't get the blame. Too many commas are also annoying, don't you think?
