I honestly had to brush up on that not a few weeks ago. I have no understanding on why someone would apply an apostrophe for plurals. And yesh, lay down the law. With a riding crop.

Irregardless of what anybody else says, you are way smarter then them. When it come's to proper english theres no way I am not listening to you're advice. And I hope everyone get's half a brain and listens to what you and the other english junkies' are saying because its about time people started thinking before they typed and did a better job at trying to be smart because I for one know I am sick and tired of it. :) Me and all my good friends completely agree with you.
