grammar police on patrol

A certain insurance company (rhymes with "psycho," another potentially good reason to avoid it) may have disqualified itself from doing business with me. This is the reason:

"Do you have more than nine car's in your possession?"

Then again, the quote is about $800 cheaper than it would be to transfer my previous policy to New York, which is certainly in the pro column. The old company also wants me to make an appointment with a local agent and go in to sign paperwork, and that just seems so unnecessary in the Internet Age, doesn't it?

So are properly placed apostrophes worth several hundred dollars? It's a decision I wish I did not have to make -- not exactly the kind of issue of principle that Angie has faced lately, but an issue of principle nonetheless.

I am so pleased that one of you asked to see the shelf paper, by the way. Here it is, and it has so much fruit just like good shelf paper should, and I am madly in love with it. Almost as much as our new air conditioner.
