I'm so confused by this kind of thing, because you would think there would be several people involved in the sign creation process.

Nobody along the way—person who commissioned the sign, person who took the order, person who arranged for it to be printed, person who printed it—EVER NOTICED?

Sick!

That point did cross my mind and I admire your optimistic view. If I were a better and more forgiving man I

I'm not.

We all know it's a mistake and although Jacques Derrida's theories on retrospective application of meaning are valid for most artforms, they don't really apply when discussing an apostrophe on a shop front.

Surely that’s valid. They’re just abbreviating the word.”G’day bro, my b’day present t’day came in multiple box’s.”
