Grammar Nazi here. Never, ever pluralize word’s using apostrophe’s. It makes one’s writing’s less credible

I wasted too much time looking for, I think, the single instance of which you complain. That was after I translated your comment.

I no longer expect correct spelling or grammar in posts, because I know how completely awful this touchscreen keyboard and ridiculous spellcheck software is.

It does seem to be a step backwards, though.

Actually, that's not being a Grammar Nazi. I can't fathom why people can't make plurals these days. Do they no longer teach this simple skill in school? Serious question.

You beat me to it! Misused apostrophes make my skin crawl.
