You’re problem’s are irrele’vant’s to much of human society’.
In fact, XKCD recently posted a comic discussing this very issue. It is titled ‘Could Care Less’ and it makes a good point about today’s world and the different types of so-called ‘Grammar Nazis’.
My final point, however, is that an apostrophe following a single letter in order to refer to a number of those letters is not recognized by technical forms, but it is recognized by much of the English speaking world.
So why not use it?
So long as one’s style is constant, contested grammar issues like these should not matter. For instance, I tend to capitalize ‘Grammar Nazi’. That is something that is consistent through my writing. If it were to suddenly change, then I would have no personal rule for it; all instances of its use in my writing would be incorrect from a personal grammar perspective, regardless of whether or not you consider ‘Grammar Nazi’ to be two proper nouns.
You make me sigh, but not in that way, over your misuse of apostrophes.
