I strongly agree with that but there is hope I heard that we will all be
switching to Chinese soon and they dont (saved one) use any punctuation
Which is great news for all the punctuation marks As you know the period
is even closer to extinction than the appostrophe followed closely by
the comma in the mean time id (and another)

I am sick and tired of people wasting apostrophes. There is a finite
supply, and the Oxford English Dictionary estimates that we've already
used more than half.
Moreover, with more and more people studying English, this alarming
trend will only get worse.
Remember. Think before you punctuate.

There's no apostrophe in its as used below:
A car company can move it's factories to Mexico and claim it's a free

That would be the first its, ; right Miss Grundy.?
Possessive "its" in Standard English does not have an apostrophe,
to distinguish it from the contraction "it's"--meaning "it is."
Using the apostrophe in the possessive form for the word its is a
very common mistake that I've actually heard TAUGHT er . . .
(erroneously? eronneously? I HATE spelling in this language!)
incorrectly in a 6th grade classroom.
If you'd ever like to learn the meaning of frustration, try
teaching this concept to a 7 year old! (Or teaching spelling to me!)
