No, I don't think so MagiK! Everyone is doing it, but everyone! A few years ago, you would see the occasional misplaced ' which would be a genuine mistake. Nowadays, people in the UK (I don't know about other English speaking countries) use it thinking it is completely correct, - as I said, I've seen it in huge billboard ads, which means the proof readers haven't picked it up as a mistake.

Any more suggestions?
