Hold that apostrophe
So, should one worry when the athletics department at one's university can't use punctuation properly in forming a plural? (As in there shouldn't be an apostrophe.)
Now that it's in the banner, it probably will be repeated every year. Sigh.
I think the use of proper punctuation is very important. I'm glad that you caught this mistake. It seems that many people do not proofread their work before posting it. There is an importance of proofreading and making sure that the punctuation and grammar is flawless especially when it is up for people to see.
