The "its" is wrong
Cristina said the " its' " on this sign is "driving me crazy every day on my way to work", and when I saw the picture (which isn't completely clear because she took it with her cell phone), I just had to post it here.
Dear historical sign people: if it's possessive, it's supposed to be ITS (ie, no apostrophe)!
Uggh, that sticks out like a sore thumb!
ReplyDeleteYeah--to people who know the difference! Otherwise people think there's nothing wrong :(
