I'd love a $2 shop - you can always pretend it's twice as fancy! And speaking of apostrophes, the language has been so butchered by popular culture that it's on a trajectory to dissolve into a terrible mess. Illiteracy is a major concern, and yes, years of exposure to poor grammar dulls the wits, I'm convinced.phlegmfatalehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08636803080525003892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32097757.post-1155853171048748842006-08-17T17:19:00.000-05:002006-08-17T17:19:00.000-05:00Come to New Zealand, Phlegmfatal, you'll have a hey day. For one thing, there is no such concept as an apostrophe in this country, and after 12 years, I forget how to use it, too. <BR/><BR/>By the way, over here, because of the low rating of our Pacific Paso called the Kiwi Dollars, we have $2 Shops. So consider youselves affluent....

From a Popeye's Fried Chicken in Little Rock Arkansas: "Closed. Power failer."

Or "Dollar Savior." They could have done so much more, don't you think?phlegmfatalehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08636803080525003892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32097757.post-1155672041485905232006-08-15T15:00:00.000-05:002006-08-15T15:00:00.000-05:00A religious dollar shop. Amazing. Maybe we needs to be saved from people who connect religion blatantly with money-making.Meg Nakagawahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01350447919000146804noreply@blogger.com
