Come on, guy's. Stop using apostrophe's for plural's. It makes your employee's look uneducated. I've seen this multiple time's and it really get's on my nerve's. Apostrophe's should only be used if something belong's to someone ("dad's", "Linus's", "Greg's") or if the word i's an actual contraction, such as "don't", "aren't', "haven't", etc. The grammar police (and your school teachers) are watching. And yes, "teachers" is correct!

Y'all'ld've'nt had problems with grammar if spell check was a widely used thing. (an excuse to use聽 Y'all'ld've'nt )

Y'all'dn't've to complain about simple grammar mistakes. Although I also find it annoying, it's the way that the internet is heading and would need one hell of a force to change it.

My comment was meant to be a bit satirical and joking about the use of contractions.

I totally agree with you; however, with the current state of things, I don't think that the internet is critical enough of how people spell. Mistakes are simply ignored rather than fixed. I don't think it's an education problem, but rather an application problem.
