Apostrophe catastrophe? Page Dr. Webster, he's on call isn't he? Oh wait, he's on the shelf instead. Nevermind.

Whenever I see examples of that on printed matter like signs or menus, I physically twitch.

Abuse? Heck, these apostrophes are being worked beyond the legal limit with no overtime pay and no benefits!

Sears auto centers will really get you with this sign, I should have snapped a pic:

This is all planned and contrived to make 'rappers' sound more intelligent [as we lower our expectations].

My speculation on a younger Red, and his wife was removed, and this stuff stays? WOW. I guess there are members and then there are MEMBERS. Almost back to my original musing, will this one stay?
