Please, for the love of God, stop the superfluous apostrophes in the world. Plural does not equal possessive. For example:
Our daily specials are meat loaf and chicken pot pie. CORRECT. The "s" after "special" is indicating that there is more than one special.
Our daily special's are meat loaf and chicken pot pie. STUPID. Think about what an apostrophe does - it indicates possession and/or shortens contractions. This sentence now reads "Our daily special is are meat loaf and chicken pot pie."
THINK, people. THINK.

This is one of my pet peeves as well. People really think they need to do it when it's after a number or an acronym or something. For example, "in the 1950s...." becomes "in the 1950's" or "My kid got three As, two Bs, and a C on his report card" becomes "A's and B's". Why do people do this?
