Those are examples of intentional language destruction. The apostrophe thing
is part of an epidemic of stupidity. Last year, I needed a sign made. At the
sign shop, they had a bunch of signs waiting to be picked up by customers.
Several contained hideous grammatical errors. I asked if they were aware of
this. The very stern looking lady said she tells customers when their
desired wording is screwed up, and makes them sign off on the final copy.
Most of the stupidest customers insist on keeping things the way they are.

My son's English teacher would break these peoples' kneecaps if she had the
opportunity.
