Presidents Day
I just received a daily email promotion from Allposters.com with a promotion for "President's Day." WTF? There is no such thing as "President's Day." It is "Presidents Day," or "Presidents' Day." It is not the day of, or for the current acting President.
Even more infuriating is a google search which repeats the error on official public school web addresses. There is no apostrophe between the "t" and the "s."
I sent allposters.com an email for correction, hopefully they will get it right next year. But how is it that schools who are supposed to be educators are so ignorant?
Our tax dollars at work.

There is no such thing as a "President's Day." Please inform your daily email editor that they have failed in their job. There is no apostrophe between t and s. It is "Presidents Day", or (Presidents' Day). You look foolish and I am not sure I would feel confident in ordering from this email promotion.
Sincerely,
