When a person uses an apostrophe ('s) when pluralizing, what does that tell you about the person?

Update:

Example: "The New Moon and the Full Moon's can give indications of things happening in your chart."

Update 2:

Yes, okay... I was interested in going a little deeper with this question, which is why I put it in the Psychology section.

Update 3:

What's going on in the person's mind, aside from the errors in the composition of English?

Update 4:

...Assuming this is a healthy, reasonably educated native English-speaking adult?
