J October 5, 2022 at 6:31 am I took this picture in Grasse. The apostrophe thing is not only in the U.S., sadly enough. Strange to me that the sign was in English at all, though.
nance October 6, 2022 at 5:29 am Oh, my. I want so badly to believe that the proprietor’s name is Dog.
Ally Bean October 6, 2022 at 6:21 am Huh. I like nance’s explanation of the sign, but somehow I think it is just another wrong apostrophe in the wild.
J October 6, 2022 at 8:17 am Allly, likely you are right. I wonder if this is a French thing also, or if it is more that the proprietor got some bad advice from an English speaking friend.
