"You're doing it wrong"Chthonic confesses: "Only last year did I discover why the lids of things in tubes have a recessed pointy bit built into them." Tell us about the facepalm moment when you realised you were doing something wrong.

OohEdit: Hold on. I think you only use an apostrophe for a contraction if the missing letters are in the middle of the word. I've never seen photo' or pro' as the singular for photograph or professional, so you wouldn't add one to make a plural I don't think. It'd be interesting to find a proper source which states it either way though.
"Strawberry's" is a better example of one that I see a lot.

'photo' and 'pro' are not contractions - they're abbreviations. Different rules. Abbreviations can use the apostrophe when made plural.
