I don't disagree with the fact that many people are ignorant or careless in
their use of apostrophes, and I also tend to be fairly conservative when it
comes to the rules of written language. Having said that, I do follow the
more modern rules of apostrophe usage when writing non-pronounceable
acronyms. The reason is that the standard rule itself is fairly vague. For
example, to pluralize an acronym ending in the letter "s", it is acceptable
to use an apostrophe so as not to confuse the reader. The modern acceptable
rule is that all non-pronounceable acronyms can be pluralized with an
apostrophe plus the letter "s" so as to make the word more readable. Of
course pronounceable acronyms, such as laser or radar would not fall into
this category as they themselves are words.
Probably the most common misuse or confusion is "it's" and "its".

Actually, it's not just those words, but other pronouns as well. The rule
goes back to the reason or using the apostrophe in possessive context the
first place. It's actually a contraction. For example, "Rodney's
argumentative nature is annoying," is actually, "Rodney, his argumentative
nature is annoying." The reason a possessive pronoun such as "its" does not
use the apostrophe is because it is a word like "his" that already implies
possession. Also, this is in fact the basis for the modern usage of an
apostrophe when pluralizing acronyms in that it is to indicate that the word
is something of a contraction such as, "All ISP's should offer Usenet
access", instead of, "All Internet service providers should provide Usenet
access."
