I work at an Old Navy store back home. While I was folding a table of graphic tees over break, I came across this little gem in the boys' section. For some reason, the designer chose to make "get's" possessive instead of leaving it as "gets." As my mom tells her students, if you don't know if you should use an apostrophe or not, leave it out, and it will probably be right.This is the third or fourth shirt I've found at Old Navy with incorrect grammar, and ironically, most of the grammar mishaps end up on children's clothing. Last summer, we had a onesie for infants that had a military design and featured the word "sargent," an incorrect spelling of "sergeant." Thanks, Old Navy, for teaching incorrect grammar to our nation's youth.
