Boys vs. Boy's

Thanks to Tim for this one.     The apostrophe is unnecessary. This was found in an elementary school. Ah, me.

Thanks to a student for this one. Of course, the plural of knife is knives.

The second sentence has an error in subject/verb agreement. Air pressure is the subject and are is the verb. Are should be is. This is from the owner's manual of a 2008 Saturn Vue. 

The "E" needs to be moved out! Thanks to Pat for this one.

I think it should read, "Oh, yes, we did." or "Oh yes, we did." There should be punctuation. 

No "e" in "moveing" necessary. Thanks to Pat for this one.

Thanks to Tim for this one. I suspect that the author of this sign intends to express that he won't allow people to pay using coins. The problem is that he used EXCEPT instead ACCEPT. His sign actually expresses that he will receive change and will not turn it away. This was posted at a car wash/convenience store.
