I wonder if you could possibly try to avoid putting an apostrophe before the "s" just about every time you use a word that ends in an "s". In general terms the apostrophe is used to denote possession, as in "John's hat", or contractions, as in "isn't" or "we're". It is NOT used for plurals. It is "one place", "two places", "one week", two weeks", "one experience", two experiences", etc.

I do not freak out at occasional bad grammar, bad spelling and typos, because we all do that, including me, and so am not being a perfectionist. However, because you, like all of us, use the plural form of nouns throughout your postings, this glaring error keeps jumping out at me line by line by line.

I will probably be flamed for posting this message, but felt compelled to do so in an attempt to relieve my frustrations over this.
