Tsk. Tsk. Hallmark, you should know that this spelling of stationary means not moving. The correct spelling of the paper upon which one writes is stationery.
No apostrophe necessary.

To-two-too

I'm not sure what this means, but I am sure that the writer should have used TO instead of TOO. This was beside Interstate 30 in Bryant, Arkansas.

Because math and science are two different courses/subjects and not one combined subject, the subjects math and science are plural; therefore, the headline should read, "Why ARE math and science so important?" This is from the Arkansas Democrat Gazette.

Thanks to Carla for this one. The apostrophe is unnecessary. 
Thanks to Taylor for this one. "Sannta" should be "Santa."
The red arrow points to the error in subject/verb agreement. The subject is members not Club; therefore, the members TAKE not TAKES.

It's BALLET. 

Unnecessary apostrophes reign! "Sundae's" should be "sundaes." "Pizza's" should be "pizzas." "Icee's" should be "Icees." 

In the headline, "it's" should be "its."

Possessive pronoun

The possessive pronoun HERS never needs an apostrophe.

Comma Splice

The capitalization of  every word is unnecessary. The use of a comma to join two independent clauses is incorrect. Change that comma to a period, a semicolon, or a comma/coordinating conjunction to correct this error.
