Apostropheline.
Modern idiot's: here come's an s!
If it's a non-native speaker, cut them some slack. Other languages have very different rules for apostrophes and it's easy to get mixed up.
This is rarely a mistake non native speakers make
Except the problem is with native speakers. They can't get their shit straight. English is my second language; It's really not that difficult to understand this rule.
Especially "it's"
it makes sense that "the thing that belongs to 'it'" would be "it's," but of course, possession wrt pronouns is weird.
