Grammar police!?

AAAACCCCKKKK!

My legal fees for apostrophies alone will run me broke!

Maybe I could BE a grammar policeman! Yeah, that's it! Do I get a really loud whistle and a badge and everything?

Seriously though, it's a common mistake. I do it all the time. I try to catch it as often as I can. I didn't realize it was becoming a mainstream grammar modification. Kind of like when they spell the Drive through window at McDonalds "Drive-Thru", and then get mad at kids for spelling it wrong at school!
