Oh my gosh that poster is excellent!! I get super grouchy about apostrophe abuse also. I specifically hate when people use them to pluralize - even for something like RVs, VCRs, etc. Just because it's all caps doesn't mean it's special. Then there's the whole it's/its debacle - and I don't mean the tasty ice cream sandwich made locally in the Bay Area....
Now that's not to say I am not guilty of my fair share of typos. (I never learned how to type correctly, so I type with about 3 fingers and tend to go very fast but sometimes make mistakes. But throwing in gratuitous apostrohpes won't be the sort of mistake I usually make...)
