Why do people pluralise words by putting an apostophe then an s?

It's truly bizarre 🤔

To be clear: I know what an apostrophe is for. I'm asking because I've seen comments where people have used apostrophes to form plurals. One example I remember is "body's" instead of "bodies".

It's carelessness, imo. I've done it without thinking.

Oh ok. That makes sense.

@KiwiDan: Yes, like your and you're. I often make that mistake; not because I don't know which I should use, but because my fingers have a mind of their own. However, I read my posts after I send them, and the edit button is my best friend.
