Need a quick rant about apostrophes

I was in Tesco yesterday. There was a sign about reusing your bags being a good idea.

But it said something like

"You can reuse your Bag's"

Why had no-one seen the apostrophe before the sign was put up?

Was there really a rogue capital letter as well ?

Was this a printed sign issued by Tesco HQ, or a handwritten squiggle put out by the manager? If the former, write or email Tesco, complain

It's becoming more and more common that advertising departments seem to ignore/fail to understand the basic rules of English grammar, and it's getting to me.

If it makes you feel any better, I was just looking on Yahoo's mail settings. They promise that special stationAry will be available soon. Grrrrrr!

are you sure it wasn't a sleeping ant in an unfortunate position?
lala, rogue capitals seem to be a Fact of Life now not that I agree
