I find that adding apostrophe's where they are not required annoy's me more than leaving them out when they are required.

If you practice hard, you will find that both offences will annoy equally.

Both have devastating consequences for comprehension, though that doesn't seem to worry many people.

Sadly that speaks volumes about the cognitive abilities of the masses (says he... guilty of atrocious tying extraordinaire!!!!!)

It's time this was blown open.

This BDGANZA thing is just a tool of sub-editors purely for the promulgation of sub-editors.

Don't you see what these people are doing???!!!??

Sooner or later all posts will have to be subbed before submitting.

Revolt now! Lets put the apostrophe in it's place.

So are you for or against the apostrophe?

If against, you should put the apostrophe in its place

At the northern end of Tapu on the Thames coast road, a sign about 1 metre high and 5 metres long has recently been prominently attached to a house saying Boat's For Hire. This really effing irritates me and a ninja mission might be called for under cover of darkness. Perhaps a piss-taking letter to the Peninsula Times at the very least

Boat's For Hire

And why shouldn't it be?

Dropping the definite article is a fairly minor crime, and verges on being a valid literary device.

Minor crime compared to some others but I get anal over the extent to which the language is murdered (probably stems from a ruler repeatedly descending across the knuckles at junior school). I hope that the vendor of Boat's got a discount from the Sighnwroiter.
