I don't think I've noticed the apostrophe one, but it's going to get me when I do.
My daughter and I noticed a particularly annoying use of punctuation that seems to be sweeping America: the use of quotation marks to emphasize truth, when they really imply skepticism.
For instance, we saw some product labeled "genuine" whatever it was, with the word genuine in quotations! To us, that implied the stuff was fake, but apparently the vendors thought the opposite.

the use of quotation marks to emphasize truth, when they really imply skepticism.I would find that annoying too, not to mention confusing.
The apostrophe-s mistake happens with common nouns... for instance, instead of typing "the dogs" when they mean more than one dog, the person will type "the dog's"... which always makes me want to ask, "The dog's what?" since apostrophe-s is the possessive form...

"OK, a car that flies. Now I've seen everything."
"Really. Have you ever seen a man eat his own head?"
"No!"
"All right, then you ~haven't~ seen everything."
Good night.

That's from a commercial Avery Brooks did for IBM. It's a great rant, and that's only a partial audio clip of the whole thing. It's the only wav file I could find of it...
Avery Brooks was the station commander in the series "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine". The commercial came out while he was still appearing on the show.
