My math teacher in 9th grade did that ALL the time! I hated her even more for it. Math is so blah and she made me hate it even more. I too HATE the misuse/overuse of appostraphies. I don't get why people at least can't get in their minds that appostraphies are for POSSESION and CONTRACTIONS!! At least get that!
I've been called grammar police for correcting my parents when I was young but I'm a terrible speller. I often mispell words in people's signatures and only save them as jpgs.
Another that drives me crazy is "spelt"
edit: I just had to look it up. It is a type of wheat but it is also accepted as the past tense of "spell" in England
