I’d rather have Croissants than Cross Ants

Crossant should be “Croissant.”
Whoops – typed this before reading above comment.

Doesn’t “surveillance” need two ‘L’s? Or is that a regional thing?

“Cappucino” should be “Cappuccino.”
And, as near as I can tell, “surveillance” always has 2 ‘L’s.
As far as the consistent capitalization of the ‘H’ in chocolate, I think that’s probably more of a quirk in the author’s handwriting more than anything else.

Being that the sign is under 24 hour surveillance, it should be no problem to track down the offending speller.

I guess if a plural results in an es (as in sandwiches) it doesn’t require an apostrophe.
Or if your ants are cross, they don’t need an apostrophe.
Everything else, apostrophe s.

As Frank Zappa observed: “The crux of the biscuit is the apostrophe.”

Perhaps the ants are cross with the punctuation mistakes.
