Revisionist History

I love it when readers send in a story along with their submissions. JJG reported that the employees at the gas station where he found today's apostrophe catastrophe claimed that they meant "pizza's" as "pizza is."


I'm not a mindreader, but I find that unlikely. Good try, though! And it's awesome that JJG called them out on it.

Thanks, JJG!

    Did JJG get a pizza?

    And also. Is it acceptable
    to use pizza's as a contraction
    as in Pizza's Here!!!!!!!!

    I'm very very confused now.

    Love the site by the way. I was going to send in a picture
    but I thought something horrible might happen to me,
    so I decided not to.

    Yes, you could say "Pizza's here!" but I don't think that's what this store is trying to say.

    What horrible thing do you think might happen to you??
