I'm typing up a list of names someone gave me... Any time the last name ends with an S, there's an apostrophe.

I hate it when that happens; "decadent" is another word like that. What was disappointing was that the graphic did not have the other wrong definition for "redundant", but I see it in the song comments a lot - when the author of the post means "repetitive"

#5 Plethora: I was complaining that we had a plethora of cats at our house and my nephew guffawed and asked if I knew what plethora really meant. I wasn't saying we had Many: I was saying we had WAY too many. I gave him the hairy eyeball and he swallowed hard and mumbled something like "oh, right, I guess you do."

Grammar Cop Career squashed. SQUASHED!

Altho if you want to get really nitpicky, a plethora refers to stuff like bodily fluids and meant some quack was about to cut on you to get 'em out.

Maybe that's what he was getting at tho.

And just because I'm careful, I checked the dictionary and it lists the "wrong" definition as being so prevalent that it must be considered a correct usage.
