When its gone, its gone? Does that look right to you? Or is this clothes shop in the UK a bit confused about how (and when) to use apostrophes?
The apostrophe has two main jobs in English: to mark contractions and to indicate possession. However, it is not always that straightforward and people often make mistakes when using it. The apostrophe is sometimes used in the wrong place, in words when it is not required or just left out altogether!
