I keep thinking about a good name for the rampantly-misused, inappropriately placed apostrophe which makes non-possessive words seem possessive instead of plural, i.e. tomato’s, cocktail’s & habanero’s.

Pete may not only be one of the funniest carpenters in Boston but perhaps one of the brightest as well. If you’re looking for a top-notch carpenter in the Boston area, drop him an email at mail@phcarpentry.com
PS: I think Pete mightbe related to Ze Frank.
