Apostrophe catastrophe

In terms of apostrophe misuse, this feels like hitting a new low...

Also, when I shared this someone pointed out the word "vistor". Maybe the i dropped down a line to make the word iVisit. Who knew there was a scarcity issue with the letter i?

Look wot I winned in Shcool, mum! I got given Prize's!

This letter was pinned up in my local Tesco Metro. Here's a question Mr Headteacher, when are you going to teach the kids about the correct use of apostrophes?



I'm sure the kids loved their prize's.

I was also confused by the school motto on the letterhead, and I quote...

"Our Mission is to be the best I can be and proud I am me."

I'm all for motivating and building self-esteem into young people, but I also want them to be able to construct sentences that makes sense. How can 'our' mission be something 'I' do?

As a writer, things like this make me shudder

One word: FAIL.

[In more words: why do they give people who don't know the basic rules of the English language a marketing budget? 'That looks great, I see nothing wrong with it...' Dolts.]
