Why do some people uses apostrophes to indicate plural words instead of possessives?
That case it is possessive, as in the person's Corolla/Bentley. And that case is if brand or car, representing the colllective, could have written Corollas' etc.

If you mean what I think you mean, that is to say "One planet, many planet's", perhaps something went wrong during their education. This is just a guess, though.

If the statement represents possessive then the cars actually own people, notwithstanding the grammatical errors.

Bentley's slave
Corolla's slave

Am I taking over your role as grammar nazi?

Will this suffice?

I was thinking of things for my PC [maybe a giant leap to Zen 4 and a 4Tb hard drive] and an uncapped 100mbps internet connection, and a full-time job.

While I was out for a walk, I decided that what I would like most was to be rid of my mental illness, CMT, and epilepsy.

Good morning, everyone. I hope you are well and keeping warm.
I am at work, enjoy the warmth generated by our air conditioner - perhaps too much as my eyelids begin to droop. :p
