    all phone's are pay phone's. (not free, right) phone's that all people can use are public phone's not called pay phone's. a common mistake

    thanks for sharing. you know, Bob, if you're so into pedantry that you care about such minute distinctions in terminology, you might also be interested in the fascinating subject of punctuation. the correct formation of plural nouns is another hot topic that might thrill you. you'll be rewarded by noting many more common mistakes after you get hip to those subjects. have fun!
