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.

13 27 Mar 2006 - 21:07    Brian C. Doutaz : Once again the language police have struck! Perhaps a suggestion to 'Tim' that they change their trademark would do the job and preserve the English language at the same time and in the same manner as Quebec is attempting to preserve the French language.
12 27 Mar 2006 - 20:46    Terry Sagan : I support this petition.
11 14 Mar 2006 - 20:38    Marshal : I support this petition. The same people who own Tim's also own Wendy's, and they use the apostrophe there. So it is not as if they don't know how to use an apostrophe.
10 4 Mar 2006 - 1:40    Simon : Get this changed, folks. It's truly pathetic that such a great icon of hoserdom should be misspelled.
