Apostrofail

Back in , I tweeted a photo of a sign I saw in Toronto:

For those of you not following me on Twitter, Here’s the original photo:

Apostrofail
Event parking for boat cruises’s distillery, district concert’s etc.

it’s truly sad that they got so many of these signs printed without proof-reading one first. Never mind the misplaced comma, why are people using apostrophes for pluralization more and more these days? Or am I just noticing it more?

If you don’t see anything wrong with it (yikes!) it should read: "Event parking for boat cruises, distillery district, concerts, etc.".
