Grammar Giggles – So Nice Of News Stations To Keep Me In Material

I keep thinking that if I ever want to change my line of work, all of my local news stations could sure use someone to type their screen verbiage. A friend sent me this one and I only saw the errant apostrophe until I was working with the picture here and saw the hot mess of an attempt at the second use of the word “closing.” The apostrophe in “it’s” is only used as a contraction of “it is” and not to signify possession by “it” of anything– that would simply be “its” as in “closing its doors.” And you spelled “closing” correctly once, what the heck happened to the second one? In this case, two strikes and you’re out!
