Wendy's: A Spelling Bee Champion (In Denial)
Let's face it, folks, spelling can be a real drag. We've all been there: staring at a seemingly simple word, sweat beading on our brows, and questioning our entire elementary school education. But fear not, for today we delve into the surprisingly dramatic world of spelling...one frosty and square hamburger at a time.
The Great Wendy's Conundrum: Is it "Wendys" or "Wendy's"?
Ah, yes, the age-old question that has plagued scholars (okay, maybe just hungry fast-food enthusiasts) for decades. Is it Wendy's, the home of sassy Twitter roasts and delicious Frosty shakes, or Wendys, a typo waiting to happen?
Here's the truth: The official spelling, the one etched in corporate stone tablets (or probably a very important style guide), is Wendy's. The apostrophe, that sassy little punctuation mark, is there for a reason. It signifies possession, meaning this fine establishment belongs to someone named Wendy (although, plot twist, it's actually named after Dave Thomas's daughter).
But Officer, I Didn't Know! A Guide to Avoiding Wendy's Spelling Shame
