Incorrect spelling, explanation: many users of English often get confused when it comes to adding an apostrophe to a word. As a result, a common mistake is, for example, to spell the third form singular wants as want’s. The latter form is wrong, though, as an apostrophe with an s letter can be a short form of has or is as well as it can be used with nouns to express possession. In the case of want, however, the only correct option is wants.
