Since when?

Who changed the rules of grammar? Was I 'away' on an out-of-body experience? Did I miss school that day? I refer to the day it was decided the use of the apostrophe would be the opposite of everything I'd been taught - when did that happen?


Why does everyone use an apostrophe to pluralize a word now?


IT'S used to be a contraction for IT IS. Now, seemingly it is all-purpose and used in the possessive as well. (ex. the sun in all it's glory)


Since when? Can someone kindly fill me in?

Thanks.
