(54,057 posts)One of the main traits of Republicanese, namely using an apostrophe to form a plural, is to be found on almost ANY board in the USA these days, no longer just on Republican boards. Nowhere in any school in the English-speaking world are children EVER taught to use an apostrophe to form a plural, and yet you see it almost everywhere. It is one of the main differences between English and Republicanese.
e.g. English: There are so many stars in the sky tonight, they are like snow flurries.
Republicanese: There are so many star's in the sky tonight, they are like snow flurry's.
As you might expect, Republicanese also eliminates the use of an apostrophe where English mandates it, thus the difference between parents' and parents.
And you have to admit, punctuation or not, it was a GREAT notice for the store to post!

In these towns (Republicanese: town's) the Repubs could put a dead skunk on the ballot and it would still beat a living Democrat.
