I have used the apostrphe incorrectly many, many times on purpose. I remember a thread about the use of the apostrophe regarding plural 911s. See, it doesn't look right because of the 911S model. Sometimes it is correct, though, as in the "911's carpet." Another example is talking about cars made in the 60s. But the apostrophe is correct, IMO, when you say, That was a thing of the 60's." That shows possesion of fads belonging to the 60's. If we know the difference, I think we are allowed the latitude of breaking the rules. I think you can tell when someone doesn't know the difference.
Now, shall we talk about the word "who" when used as a direct object?
Heh, he, I had to go back and edit my spelling, twice.
