Chronicling Misuses

A friend of the blog sent along a link to another site that chronicles "apostrophe abuse."

The common mistake most people know about is this one: its (possessive) versus it's (contraction). While I'm not really someone who gets all bent out of shape about grammatical snafus from time to time (However, if they're happening on a regular basis, then there's a problem.), apostrophe abuse is one practice annoys me quite a bit. I especially don't like people writing decades with apostrophes, such as the "80's."
