Taking a lovely stroll through Cambridge on Friday, I noticed a Gadsen flag waving in the wind.
Dont tread on me. I appreciate the sentiment, but I do not appreciate the lack of apostrophe.

In this case, the "Dont" is historically accurate. The original flag design shows the phrase without the apostrophe. Check out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gadsden_flag for more information.
Honestly, it's always bugged me, too :)

Thanks, Allison. Good to know that it's consistent. However, I am not above calling out historical punctuation errors. See entry on Goodnight Moon.
