apostrophitis

Eric has a bad case of apostrophitis- he keeps writing things like, "GREAT DEAL'S ON EVERYTHING" and "Available in 12 color's" and "He gave it back to it's owner".

Apostrophectomy 

Lots of people nowadays don't know how to use apostrophes, and will put one in just about every word that ends in 's'. An apostrophectomy is a procedure for the removal of superfluous apostrophes in order to conform to proper english.
A combination of the words "Apostrophe" and the greek "ectomy", a common medical suffix meaning "to cut out".

"Did that guy go to school? His blog needs a serious apostrophectomy."

apotropaic 

In an art history sense, this word is commonly used to describe an image that makes the viewer feel uncomfortable and want to turn away, as in Picasso's "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon"

This differs slightly from the definition you'll find in a traditional dictionary, which is that it is something to ward off evil or bad luck. It is derived from the same term apotrepein, which means "to turn away, avert"

That picture of a transvestite staring out at you is apotropaic.
