Note: this is how you spell it. Apostrophes are for possession & contraction …not making words plural.

That's not true, clearly an apostrophe means: "watch out, here comes an s!"

That's not true. Apostrophes can be used to make acronyms plural, and there are cases where not doing so is clearly wrong (e.g. Oakland A's)
