Apostrophes drive me crazy and I still haven't adapted to overlooking their misuse. I really enjoyed grammar in school early on, it's what made it possible for me to get into and through college.

Disdain for punctuation or not, it makes your point clearly to the reader(s) so that they might appreciate what you had to say in the proper light. I think of it as a form of misspelled words.
