 It is often criticised as a form of hypercorrection coming from a widespread ignorance of the proper use of the apostrophe or of punctuation in general.Lynne Truss, author of "Eats, Shoots & Leaves", points out that before the 19th century it was standard orthography to use the apostrophe to form a plural of a foreign-sounding word that ended in a vowel (e. g., "banana's", "folio's", "logo's", "quarto's", "pasta's", "ouzo's") to clarify pronunciation.Truss says this usage is no longer considered proper in formal writing.
