Apostrophe Problem? HELP!!!?

Question

Okay, Superpetz sign says "Pet Owners Warehouse." Should the apostrophe go like this "Owners'" or like this, "Owner's)

Answer 1

No, no comma between "short" and "I'm."  You can either make them two separate sentences or put in a semicolon.  "I'm not short; I'm fun-sized."  

The two answerers above each make a good case for their opinions.  I think I could be convinced to write  the phrase either way, depending on what the actual proprietor wanted.  

EDIT:  The error in "your invited" is that "your" is a possessive pronoun/adjective to be used like this:  Your invitation is in the mail.

Change "your invited" to "you're (you are) invited.

Answer 2

One might see a sign on a warehouse saying “John Smith Warehouse”, or a sign saying “John Smith’s Warehouse”. Neither is incorrect. They are just use different grammar.

Similarly “Pet Owners Warehouse”, “Pet Owner’s Warehouse” and “Pet Owners’ Warehouse” are all correct, but have slightly different meanings. The first refers to a warehouse connected to pet owners, the second to a warehouse owned by or connected to a single pet owner, and the third to a warehouse owned by or connected to pet owners in the plural.

If you want to use an apostrophe, the last form is probably what you want.

And apostrophe is needed in “Sandy’s Famous Hot Dogs” because we are talking about one person named “Sandy” (not “Sandys) to whom the hot dogs belong or are connected.

“I’m not short” is a single clause. “I’m fun-sized” is another clause. We can put them together in three ways:

I’m not short. I’m fun-sized.

I’m not short; I’m fun-sized.

I’m not short, I’m fun-sized.

All three of these are correct. It depends on how long you imagine the pause between “short” and “I’m" to be.

If you want to write what could be two sentences as one sentence, than you can splice them with a semi-colon. But when at least one of the sentences is very short, then a comma is usually used instead.

The usual example is the Latin tag: “Veni, vidi, vici,” which is normally translated into English as “I came, I saw, I conquered.”

Answer 3

Whenever there is a plural form of a noun such as "owners" and that noun possesses something, in this case "warehouse", you put the apostrophe at the end of the noun like this, "owners'." So the sign should say "Pet Owners' Warehouse"

Answer 4

Technically Pet Owners' Warehouse--assuming that the warehouse belongs to the pet owners.

But does it really? The store owns the warehouse. Therefore, "pet owners" is really a single entity serving as an adjective to modify "warehouse," the significance being that this is a warehouse for pet owners. Since that is the case, no apostrophe should be used.

In the case of the hot dogs, these are the property of Sandy, until someone buys them, presumably to eat them.
