Friend or foe?

A robot with the brain of a security guard has been developed at the University of Lincoln.  It is with a great deal of restraint that I have stopped myself writing the obvious about security guards' brains.
But this leads me onto apostrophes - the lack of them, mis-placing of them and general wrong use of.  I'm sure I don't need to list examples, that's what the great unwashed internet is for, but some of us really like so see them in the wrong place, it gives us a warm, smug sense of satisfactory superiority that we (the master class) know our plurals from our possessives.
