  1. You would use who in the sentence you provided.  I know it likely sounds better with whom-but that is not the way it works.  Whom is often used if it follows words such as:  with, from, for.  At least I think that is how it works.

  2. There are a lot of people who seem very poor at spelling.  I do blame technology for this one.  People are often typing on computers and other electronics from a young age.  The programs correct their spelling errors.  Individuals do not need to pay as much attention to their spelling when typing it out.  Therefore, they forget how to spell when writing.

  3. It is true that people often misuse the '.  I think it is because there are so many different rules pertaining to its use.  Sometimes people use the apostrophe in the wrong way.  They might for instance, want to say "The dog ate its bone" and they might write its as it's to show ownership.  But in this case no apostrophe is used.
