Funny &amp; timely! (Well, it would have been if I were keeping up...)

Right around Thanksgiving I saw a sign at my local auto body shop that also gave me pause and a moment's reflection. I should admit to the fact that I am an insane apostrophe-misuse critic. Those over-used and mis-used apostrophes drive me crazy! In the case of the auto body shop, however, it was the lack of apostrophe that changed the meaning and message for me.

MAY WE ALL BE THANKFUL FOR GODS BLESSINGS

Without the apostrophe I decided that this was a multi-ethnic, far-reaching, meaningful message that was embracing all gods and the universe in giving thanks for our many blessings. Of course, there probably just wasn't a plastic magnetic apostrophe for the sign, but I chose to internalize and give myself a smile at the potential meaning. Of course one could argue that we all interpret faith, spirituality and input from others in our own way, but that's a whole other post! :)
