We in Canada would love to see that, too.

A++ to Mango Mussolini for the grocer's apostrophe in his toot. Aliterate idiot.

@SimonRoyHughes once upon a time, perhaps - now numbers among the ‘lesser-spotted’ apostrophes … even grocers have abandoned it #GrocersApostrophe

A grocer's apostrophe. On a roadsign. Who checked that?! My mind is boggled. Here: w3w.co/shallower.establish.tra
If I lived in Alport, I'd have defaced and/or fixed that by now. Come on #Derbyshire. #grocersapostrophe #shitgrammar #grammar

A poor substitute for a @lindasgoluppiart task.

Today:

We know that Sainsbury's was once the shop of John James Sainsbury. Hence the apostrophe-S.

Asquith Dairies (ASDA) isn't the unadorned family name. But Michael Marks & Thomas Spencer owned a market stall.

Several members of the Gregg family (John, Ian, and Colin) ran Greggs, so it starts off plural.

In 1 minute, decide whether the bakery is thus Greggs, (old style) Greggs', or (new style guides) Greggs's.

@BruceShark Which is fortunate, because it is properly two cauliflower's's. (-:

I read that Asda's is rationing the supply of tomato's and cucumber's.

We all know what greengrocer's have a surfeit of. (-:

Beware fakery! A _real_ butcher would have spelled it: ostrich burger's. (-:

Is it wrong of me that a colleague used an apostrophe incorrectly and now I can’t respect them or even catch their eye in a meeting? 🤣
