Genitive in German and English

I only learnt that relatively recently. Incorrect use of apostraphes for plurals in attempts to use English or Denglish expressions is another thing. A relatively egregious example is ein Fitnessstudio for women here in the actually-very-well-educated-uni-city of Erlangen: Lady`s First. Note they don't even use the correct sort of apostraphe.
