Actually, may I get you started?

In the UK this most common and iniquitous form of punctuation abuse has come to be known as "greengrocer's apostrophe":

    Fresh Tomato's,  £1.50/kg

> P.S. WatchOutForFallingHippos

Or, at my local corner shop:

    Falling Hippo's - this week only! -  12p/kg

Now that's some bang for your buck.
