English is one of the few things I'm really any good at, and all those mis-spelled signs, often with superflous apostrophes, seem to draw my eye like a magnet.

I have quite a collection of 'Aberrant Apostrophe' pictures now, and present them here for your interest and elucidation.

I've taken the vast majority of these personally, and only a very few have been contributed by others.

ISN'T is 'is not' - and not isnt or aint.     It's IT'S - if you mean 'it is'.
It's ITS - If that's not what you mean.      It's HERS - it isn't her's.

It's THEIRS - and not their's.
