I am annoyed by *any* use of an apostrophized word when the non-
apostrophized one is correct.
Or the addition of an apostrophe at the end of a word ending in "s"
when there is no ownership to imply.

The one that drives me crazy -- and has become ubiquitous lately -- is
people who don't know the difference between "lose" and "loose." As
in, "I'd like to loose some weight."
Arggghhh.

But language is fluid. It's not something frozen in amber.
Welcome to the great prescriptive/descriptive dictionary debate. Some
of us prefer the dictionaries to lead, not to follow.
My current teeth-clencher is "cachet," which seems to have become
"cache." Which might make sense with an accent on the e, but would
still be wrong.

Just want to thank you for using "lectern" rather than the all-too-
common "podium." It's one of my pet peeves (along with the
mispronunciation of "forte").

there instead of at the lectern.
