There's more than one way to use an apostrophe y'know

Oh yes, I do. “More than one way” in more than one way, even. One such split is two ways: The right way, and the wrong way. Where, for instance, using it in “CEO’s” is the right way for a possessive, but the wrong way for a plural.

In my estimation they chose clarity over correctness; no reasonable person would mistake `CEO's` as a possessive usage, only a prescriptivist.
