Beware of discussion groups marketing ploy's

I'm sorry; I'm trying to ignore grammatical errors, but two in one heading is too much for me to stay quiet.

If it refers to the ploy of one group, it should be group's ploys, and if there are multiple groups it should be groups' ploys. In either case, there is never an apostrophe in the plural ploys.

You have got to be kidding me! If that's all you have to say I'd say get a life and don't worry about the small s#!t.

Sorry. Normally I just grind my teeth, but sometimes I just have to...

On the other hand, I've been trying to get a life, but it doesn't always work out like you plan. Small $#!+'s all I have right now. Besides, some of us believe that a little education is good for the general welfare.

Still, if it made you yell at me it was worth it.
