So let me get this straight…lips are makin’ the grub? Those are some talented lips!
This heart-felt yuletide sentiment was spotted in our local King Soopers and falls under the heading of “Let’s try it both ways because one of them’s bound to be right.” I know I don’t have to explain to you the circumstances under which you would use an apostrophe with “lot.” (The list below is for all those others.)
1. To turn the noun possessive, as in “The outhouse belongs on that lot’s northeast corner.”
2. As a contraction of the noun “lot” and the verb “is,” as in “That property lot’s in a bad location.”
3. And finally, when you’re referring to the biblical Abraham’s cousin’s wife, who turned into a salt lick.
And really, King Soopers. Blaming Jill? Bad form.
