SIGHTS OF THE CONVENTION.

Can you spot the typo on this sign?

Strip club by the convention center

--Dana Goldstein



COMMENTS

"Gentlemen's", not "Gentlemens'". Also, the accent on the e of "Boheme" is pointing the wrong way.

Colorado's not exactly known for it's (sic) quality education system.

I believe it's the second "e" in "Sexiest."

Good news, Dawgg: Sexism is dead. The bitches killed that witch themselves.

"Who ever"...

Apostrophe in wrong place on "gentlemen's"...

The street number is actually 1435?

-Gentlemens'- is OK; it's a cabaret intended for multiple gentlemen, not just one, so the plural possessive is fine.

"Who ever" is wrong, I guess...and no question mark...

Oh, and it does read like a horrible run-on sentence, like the sexy democrats inside were sexy democrats who had heard of a nice piece of elephant

"Gentlemen" is plural, so "gentlemens'" is the correct plural possessive.

"Who ever" is probably wrong: as-is, it means the sexiest Democrats inside heard of a a nice piece of elephant. They almost certainly mean: "The sexiest Democrats inside--whoever heard of a nice piece of elephant?"

Sorry, "gentlemen's" is correct.

I don't think Dana posted this to debate an apostrophe. N Dawgg gets the prize.

I think that Strunk and White agree with croatan.
