However, this one is a real cracker (click for a larger image):
![Click to see a larger image McCain advert scanned from the back of the London Lite, 17 November 2008 issue](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiQe6VYNxMTf0_n1bokZ7VahPl4wG-tpLpy-rtD6i0sKpdltaTuAg3XC25dwHIcNoixVeBwrSNCqYFlXt0VDL3msdGyibL_kS8dtfNwQ2IIG30dCDCPGW4Up6LY-QCiQ8RVAsyx1DkRn4/s400/mccain-chips-apostrophe.jpg)
So this is an ad by multi-billion-dollar food company McCain. A full-page ad, on the outside back cover of the London Lite newspaper – which has a readership of 1.1 million. And look at that apostrophe.
I suddenly feel much better about my own mistakes. And can anyone come up with a higher-profile apostrophe error?
I do quite like 'caressive', though.
(For those who can't see the image, the copy in the advert reads: "Stop! Stop! I lied, as I bit into the pert roundness of the goose fat smothered potato, instantly sending caressive plumes of steam gushing from it's soft, fluffy centre like a hot breath on my lips.")

Seems to me there should be a hyphen or maybe two, as well.
Somehow, I read that over and over, and didn't spot a apostrophe, except the one, in the upper right, "It's all good", which belongs there. Then I read your typed out copy of the text and it jumped out at me.
