hellziggyOK people. I know some of you are doing Christmas cards. For *insert diety here*'s sake, when you put the family name, DON'T USE AN APOSTROPHE!!!!
correct: The Smiths
incorrect: The Bush's
correct: The Stewarts
incorrect: The Cheney's
correct: The Snyders
incorrect: The Schneider's
If you do, I will be focused on how much it annoys me rather than how cute the picture of you/your kids/your pets is.
Thank you.
p.s. If your name ends in "S", it doesn't matter what you do because that one always confuses me.

Date: 2006-12-09 06:38 pm (UTC)What spawned my PSA was a card from Rick's cousin. It was a photo card and the type on the side said:
The Smith's
John, Jane,
Mike & Bob
(Names changed to protect the apostrophe ignorant)
And it just reminded me of the Christmas seasons when I worked at a photo lab and would have to try to convince people that they were wrong and did not want an apostrophe in there.
