Inspired by Garner Andrews, I have realized that Tim Hortons is grammatically incorrect as it is. To correct this misuse of the English language, an apostrophe would need to be added. The signs, cups and doughnut boxes would need to read "Tim Horton's".
Tim Horton's, along with many other companies, are exactly what's wrong with today's grammar. They blatantly misuse grammar and no one cares.
I, for one, am standing up for the English language.

Show your support for the language and the need for an apostrophe in Tim Horton's.

Sign this petition. Future generations of English-speakers and writers will thank you. I thank you.

One province\'s language laws should not overrule grammatical correctness in the rest of the (primarily English-speaking) country, much less in the US. Just let the Quebecois secede so we can have the apostrophe back!!!

Grammer is important, it belongs to Tim, so it's Tim Horton's, it just makes sense!

grammar is important, it shouldn't be ignored because of one province (that doesn't actually want to be a province anyway)

Don't contribute to the "dumbing-down" of Canada!

I'd also support the changing of the name in Quebec to something that's actually in French. No half measures!

I support both proper English AND proper French. Vive le Quebec, and Hurrah for English Canada too. Down with homogeneity!
