I am a member of the Grammar Police of Scotland and am appalled at the amount of spelling and punctuation mistakes there are out there, especially from so-called 'professional' organisations and/or people!
We have a sign nearby which says "Dogs Trust". Every single time I drive past it, it annoys me and I shout, "Dogs Trust? Whom do they trust?", knowing full well that they mean "Dogs' Trust".
I like it!

Gah.
Love it. Maybe at least Walmart (unlike this church) can do contractions correctly?!?
