My current pet hate is panini's, which is wrong on two counts.

Is panini already a plural word ?


Yes, the singular is panino. And if it wasn't already plural it
wouldn't need the apostrophe.


I tend to disagree. What is plural in one language can very well become
singular in another language. Whether it was plural in the original
lanuage does not matter very much.
