Apostrophes

One thing that drives me ABSOLUTELY CRAZY is mis-used apostrophes. Apostrophes are very nice, when used in the proper way. Like this:

Miss Tibble's basket.
I'm rather tired.
I wasn't there.

But when they are used wrongly...

We are going to the Smith's.
The 1910's.

Come on! It's not a contraction, like "we'll", or someone owning something, like "Lily's bonnet"! It's plural!
