Apostrophes

Or apostrophe's if you're a sign-writer.

Overall I'm inclined to think life would probably be easier for everyone if we just did away with them. However, I couldn't help myself yesterday and corrected the chalkboard outside the Old Bell Inn, which was offering "great bargain's on our new menu's".

Walking on home with a Lynne Truss messiah complex, I then had a panic attack about not knowing what the plural of menu was, nor how to spell it.

This morning the sign looks a bit sad, with smudge marks where some jumped-up twat has been a meddling little pedant. If I'd had some chalk I'd have put them back in...
