SALT LAKE CITY — Over the years, you've probably received a few greetings loaded with punctuation errors. To help you avoid similar errors, here's a quick quiz:
Problem #1: The apostrophe catastrophe
If you were writing your family Christmas letter and your name was Smith, would you sign it "Love, The Smiths" or "Love, The Smith's"?
Problem #2: Names that end with s can be tricky
What if your last name ends with an "S," like Sirstins? Do you write "Love, The Sirstins's", "Love, The Sirstens" or "Love, The Sirstinses"?
Problem #3: The greeting
There's one greeting a lot of people just can't keep straight. Is it "Season's Greetings" or "Seasons Greetings?"
