A few years ago, I did a campaign sign for a local Republican supporter and misspelled Dick Cheney's name; spelled it "Chenney". On another I put an apostrophe in the wrong place. Last week, vinyl-lettering a semi truck, I copy/pasted the info from an email and didn't realize that the zip code, which was jammed against the DOT number, wasn't part of the DOT number.

Those are the only three mistakes that come to mind but I'm sure there have been more and those could be easily fixed with little cost. Thankfully I haven't made such a mistake on one of my 3D signs; with most being all one solid piece and costing thousands, that would be a disaster.

Would that be what we call the "Greengrocers apostrophe?"  

 

Cherry's for example?

Or the eclesiastical one such as St James's.

​At school we we taught that it should be St James'  as if the word ended in S then the posessive apostophe went after it.
