As a sign designer, I've always been bugged by people monkeying around with -N- or "N" or 'N.

There used to be a feed store here in Las Vegas with a flourescent green fiberglass horse and a sign that read, Horse "N" Around Too. I drove by it everyday, and thought, "really?"

Equally bad (though not apostrophe related) was Ice Cream Cones & Etc. back in Ohio.

Love you're site. That was on purpose.
