Some tip's for you

What is the fascination with apostrophe's used for plural word's? It seem's to be a thing now. Let's review, shall we?

Apostrophe - indicates possession, like Steve's car or the building's facade.

Apostrophe - also indicates a contraction (the omission of one or more letters to join two words into one), such as can't, won't, don't, isn't, and I'm.

Plural - indicates more than one.

Apostrophe to indicate a plural - just wrong.

See how ridiculous the first two sentences in this post look? (As well as the post title.) They're a's ridiculou's a's thi's sentence i's.
