My favorite peeves are the misuse of apostrophes in the 'its' formation

Not to mention your's and her's.

Most annoying to me is the use of apostrophes to indicate plurals. (Or, the use of apostrophe's to indicate plural's.)

People do this all the time and it always gives me an image of someone who flunked the eighth grade.
