Seems that writing punctuation marks wrongly is not exclusive to the US:

  I think it's rather sad when a city official has the opinion that you
need an "A-level high school diploma" in order to find a location by street
address if the name of the street happens to have an apostrophe.

  Since when have apostrophes confused people? I understand some people
abusing them and writing them incorrectly. However, since when is *reading*
text with (correctly-written) apostrophes confused anybody?

  I'd say *not* writing apostrophes where they should be is more confusing.
