Thirty years ago, I would have wholeheartedly agreed with you, but today there's a raging epidemic of lousy English usage. This is why you're seeing so many people comment on it. Our native tongue is going to hell, and some of us object to that loss.

I suspect that YOU TOO have made similar mistakes in your life ( especially when you type ).
What I object to is hijacking this thread and making it a forum for discussing apostrophes.
