I hate the fact that some people can't understand the use of an apostrophe. Just because something is plural doesn't mean you need an apostrophe.
Case in point: Today while at a craft store for my mom, I saw a sign that said this: "Grandma's know best--have another cookie."
Grandma's...what? Grandma's kitchen knows best? Grandma's house knows best? Grandma's face knows best? I'm sorry lady, but anybody who knows their grammar rules isn't going to buy your cute little sign.
Another example. Today at work I got an email advertising corporate phone deals we can get from Verizon. The Verizon representative's email said that there were "numerous phone's available."
Phone's? Ugh. Cringe. Not impressed.
Seriously. It's just an apostrophe. If in doubt, don't use it. Or just ask someone who knows.
