As I was driving to work this morning, and I turned onto the approach lane for the freeway, I caught sight of a bumper sticker on the SUV in front of me. It read “bad ass girl’s drive bad ass trucks”.

Naturally, the inappropriate use of an apostrophe to denote a plural amused me, so much that I even *cut someone off* in order to position myself directly behind the unsuspecting SUV driver (who, by the way, was male. Not that that’s relevant to the story, except that it just added to the hilarity I was feeling at that moment), and then I started to rummage in my purse in the hopes that somehow I could pull out my camera and snap a quick picture of the gross error in punctuation before the SUV driver and I both had to merge onto the freeway. Yes, yes, I know, distracted driving is wrong, but so is the inappropriate use of apostrophes!

Alas, by the time I had finally gotten my camera out and I inched my car a bit closer…and that’s when I finally could see that it wasn’t a punctuation error at all; it was simply that the ‘l’ in ‘girls’ had been partially scraped off.

So…bah. Photographic mockery denied. Sigh. Stupid reality, taking away all the fun.

Nanowrimo update: Same as yesterday (see last week’s entry regarding “writing” and “Mondays”).
