The apostrophe thing just slays me every time I see it. Also the there, their, they're and were, where. I can understand people who don't have English as a first language, but those who do have no excuse.
I think it doesn't help that we live in a short hand society. Text, email, etc. all with the funny ways of making things as succinct as possible, but there is a point where (such as in a notice going out to customers) that it should stop and rules should be followed.
Makes me wonder if we will have a recognizable language in a few decades as quickly as it's devolving.
