They didn't recognize the Most Endangered Punctuation: the apostrophe. The number of people who understand that it's for contractions and possessives (except, of course, for "its"), and NOT for plurals, seems to be plummeting.
the people who use it for plurals may be victims of the New York Times policy (which i disfavor) of constructions like 90's and DVD's; the justification is that this works better in all-caps headlines (which i also disfavor)
