It's a tragic mistaka to maka.
I blame it on English using the abbreviated possesive form but never the full form. If we did use the posessive in its full we would see thing like "Bob, his ball..." and the contraction would be obvious. Combine that with our use of 's' as an indicator of plurality and it's easy to see where the confusion may lie.
I'll admit I still like to point out gramatical errors, like the deliberate one[s] I made in this post, but it is easy to see where the confusion lays.
