My favourite impostrophe

Made-up word I know, but it's a family term for an apostrophe where it doesn't belong.
Was delighted to see one above my dear MIL's bed in hospital recently, calling her Glady's. 😊

I LOVE impostrophe!

Glady's is a new low. Impostrophe is a great word though!

Some time ago a village near us used to have a welcome sign - " welcome's careful drivers" which I thought was unusual. Mistakes are common with nouns but much less so with verbs!

Impostrophe is brilliant!

It reminds me of a sign I saw a few years ago outside a house for sale, the headline was "Owner's Off Oversea's".
