That's the reason for the in my post. I've seen this done a lot - folks pluralizing words with " 's " for some unknown reason.

The apostrophes make the nouns incorrectly possessive. Simply plural (no apostrophe) would have been correct. The apostrophe in the verb "makes" is also incorrect. Nouns are possessive, not verbs.
