Ah, yes -- "The Jewel's." Once my
mother managed to horrify my sister by
accidentally stating, in front of her teenage
friends, that she was going to
"K-mart's." My sister's shrill,
"Oh, mother! It's K-MART. Singular. No
possessive! K-MART!" and up-to-heaven
eye roll worthy of Patricia Routledge in the
opening sequence in "Keeping Up
Appearances" ensured that for at least a
decade after that, Mom made sure to call it
"K-mart's."
