Actually, this thing we're on is called the WORLD wide web, and most of the WORLD has access to most servers. There really are very few AMERICAN web sites.
People also tune into this for the season long story arcs, the interrelationships between the characters and the fact that most people can relate to the characters.
Is for some airline to decide it's time to let people move about the world for much less. > $1000 to visit my Sister and Mother in Australia for a measly two week vacation at most, is way too expensive. And that's JUST the airfare!

From a current English language style guide:
Apostrophes
An apostrophe is used to indicate the possessive case or a contraction.
For singular nouns place an apostrophe before the s.
The mayor's meeting (the meeting of the mayor)
For most plural nouns place the apostrophe after the s.
The councillors' meeting (the meeting of the councillors)
For plural nouns which do not end in s add 's to from the possessive.
The children's toys were left out in the rain.
For contractions the apostrophe is used to indicate missing letters.
can't (cannot)
they're (they are)
I'm (I am)
An apostrophe is used in the word its only when indicating the contraction of it is.
It's raining
The possessive its has no apostrophe.
The Board announced at its annual general meeting
Do not add an apostrophe to shortened forms of words or years to make them plural unless for a possessive case.
MPs

but

the MP's electorate
MPs' electorates
For the possessive of a phrase, or compound title, or of a statement of joint ownership, add an apostrophe to the last word only.
The Prime Minister of Australia's house
Mary and Bob's farm
If the ownership is not joint, add an apostrophe to each name.
