If your method of communication is the spoken word, then it's not all that important. But if you're communicating by the written word, then it'd be awfully nice if people could learn a few really simple rules to make themselves more understandable. And the insertion of completely superfluous apostrophes is one of my pet peeves. Way to go, merf!
