When you see a sign, which is grammatically incorrect, which ones irritate you the most

Seeing apostrophes in plurals.
I was in an office one day and saw a poster which told us what happened on each day of the week
It had apostrophes in plurals
Monday's Tuesday's and son on
I had to sit down with a glass of water and recover.

The one that gets me when I am in Morrisons's
10 items or less - it should be 10 items or fewer

Generally, the rule is if the noun is countable or uncountable

That is interesting, Elderly Person. Besides average and median
there is also mode (I think) which I have forgotten.
