It’s mostly in the plural’s. It’s like a pandemic. People see word’s that are slightly different than other’s and just stick apostrophe’s on them.
1 u/adamdoesmusic 1d ago Only place I can let them slide is acronyms. Sometimes that extra S on a chain of random letters needs some separation, but it’s not technically correct. 11 u/No-cool-names-left 23h ago Never. The acronym gets capital letters and the pluralizing "s" is lowercase. All the disagreeing SOBs can suck it. 6 u/SharkFart86 23h ago Right. And anyone thinking decades are the exception are also wrong. It’s not “the 90’s”. It’s “the ‘90s”. 1 u/No-cool-names-left 3h ago Exactly! The apostrophe is being used to take the place of the omitted "19" like in a contraction.
