Just read through a thread with misplaced apostrophes and just wanted to go aghhhh! It annoys me so much as a teacher because we teach it correctly, and then the parents tell their children to write flie's, want's, 2 ship's and both party's are at fault.

Eh? What’s being a greengrocer got to do with the price of fish?

Pluralising a noun like that used to be known as the greengrocers’ apostrophe (that’s more than one greengrocer!).
