Please, I implore you...

...if you want me to quit whining about apostrophes so much, read this and spread the word. If we could get this into the hands of whomever runs "Cheer's" restaurant on Plainfield, I'd be so happy. Even better, we could take up a charitable contribution to replace his signage. My brother-in-law Adam could design the new logo. Oh, glorious.

Thanks, Diane...from both me and my friend, the oft-maligned apostrophe.

God bless you and your crusade.

We could picket Cheer's...
Maybe that's the owner's name?

Yup, it could be the owners name?

Cheer ses.

Misplaced or missing commas drive me nuts. And I am so guilty.

I don't expect to find Mr. Cheer in the phone book. Though that would be a lovely last name, wouldn't it?

it would be even better if Cheer was his first name, and his middle initial was E. and his last name started with O. hehehehe

You are welcome, Miss Laura. As soon as I saw it I thought of you! And I love you for it.

The apostrophe does not exist in Spanish which is a very difficult thing to teach, fyi. I cringe when I get a paper that says, "nosotros'll"

really? you think you can mix languages?

don't get me started. I'm on vacation.
