If you want to make a word plural then just put on an S, you morans.

No apostrophe necessary.

Where did you get your schooling?

Who can really say that they "understand" apostrophes? I mean, this just goes metaphysical.

I'm happy to be a cargo cult grammarist who just slavishly follows the examples in style guides.

There's a store near me with a sign that says: "Fresh" Ground Beef. I always make fun of it and do air quotes to express how they're implying the meat is anything but fresh, but of course they're morons and it goes right over their heads. They also sell Newspaper's.

My favorite handwritten sign I saw in Texas:

"Stay off the Primaisie's". I did not trespass
"It's a friendly friendly world" (Andy Kaufman)
Calm seas do not a sailor make,
Nor easy horses, a horseman.
And Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water And he spent a long time watching from his lonely wooden tower and when He could be certain only drowning men could see Him- Leonard Cohen

There is at least one exception to this. Since you are the self-purported expert, how about enlightening everyone on it.

The reason the left wants you disarmed is because they plan to do things to you that you would shoot them for.

To a cat, "No" just means to try again later.

You’re announcing speech ‘I’ll say ..’

So you should use quotation marks otherwise known as inverted commas.

My rule is when in doubt
DO NOT USE AN APOSTROPHE

Apostrophes are poisonous unless used correctly by experts who know what they're doing.
