A loose apostrophe here and there in forums, no prob.

A big giant banner ad with a loose apostrophe, well, perhaps I need to get a life, but I can't handle it.

Maybe it's the Triathlete's magazine they're trying to single out with a special offer.

"Someone please fix this" - Better?

I hear you. Misuse of the apostrophe in 'professional' publications (or ads or graphics or whatever) drive me batty.

I also hate the use of the exclamation point in professional writing!

I had an executive-type boss who texted with his teenage daughter too much because he would use smileys and "LOL" with executives from other companies.  As in "I won't be able to make it to the meeting, but I'll send one of my minions so you'll be in good hands LOL "

"My name is Chad Daniels.  That's a horrible name for a comedian when I go to the Deep South, because I always get that drunk redneck who asks, "hey boy, your name Daniels?  WHOOOO!  You related to Jack?"  Then I have to explain to this guy, "Jack Daniel's has an apostrophe in it,"  And one guy actually asked, "you mean he followed Jesus?"  "Yes sir, he was one of the Twelve Apostrophes.  Way to go.  Why don't you go color?"

Like an apostrophe would ever follow Jesus.  They'd have to give up all their earthly possessions, and, hello, their main job is to show ownership!

Every time I tell that joke, an English teacher gets their wings.
