Abused apostrophe

Or, deliciously possessive breakfasts.
It's a mistake that Patisserie Valerie has made on its signboard. (Ooh, what a clever sentence...)
It's amazing how many mistakes like this you come across. In fact, there seems to be so much confusion as to the correct use of the apostrophe that someone recently (almost seriously) proposed that it should be abolished altogether! So, for example, instead of writing 'don't' we would write dont and 'can't' would become 'cant'. That's not a problem for the former as dont isn't an English word but cant is.

The computer correction of real word spelling errors (those where the word is a correctly spelled English word but not the one intended) was the subject of my PhD (with particular reference to errors made by dyslexics). I still chuckle over howlers produced by my students. Recently one described a database form that would incorporate clickable 'bottoms' (when he meant buttons)...

But even if they can't spell, Patisserie Valerie do make delicious cinnamon danishes. I stopped in for one on my way to work.
