“I don’t have any problem identifying where the photo was taken. It’s a lake near South Branch spelled J-O-S-E, a lovely summer holiday destination where you can always tell the tourists travelling through, since they pronounce the name “Hoe-Say”.
Locals, on the other hand, know that one of the earliest pioneers was Joe Thompson, and that the lake he owned was recorded for posterity sometime in the 19th century by a government surveyor who didn’t quite know how to spell.
But that wasn’t his only failing. Just like some people today, it would appear the surveyor also had a slight problem knowing when to use apostrophes. So regardless of the grammatical errors, Jose Lake is Joe’s, not José’s.”
