Now the Swedes, they sometimes use a colon in its place or in the middle of contractions. gently caress's up with that?

That looks like a professional vinyl banner, so we're talking about two independent levels of fuckup here. How the gently caress are you in the signmaking business and can't take one look at what garbage your client hands you and think "oh maybe I should fix this before I fire up the plotter?" Fuuuuuuuuck :argh:

There's a place in my town, a state capitol, called Capital Auto.

Why did nobody tell them when they applied for a business license?

Is this an ironic post or something? Because capital is the correct word. Capitol is a building.

On an episode of QI, David Mitchell goes on rant about this exact thing. His conclusion is basically that sign-writers know where the apostrophes go, but list spellchecking as a premium, twice the price, service. When customers decline spellchecking services, they print the sign as is, knowing that the customer will have to return twice as quickly to have the sign reprinted correctly.
In order to maintain my sanity, this is the theory I choose to subscribe to.

The greengrocer's apostrophe. It's shockingly common, especially in rural areas, to see an apostrophe used mistakenly to pluralize things. The signmaker might not have even known it was incorrect because of how commonly it's used. :shrug:
