#6 Cold Domino's pizza? That's no surprise.
You can shorten "Emily is pregnant" to "Emily's pregnant," when speaking, but when written it can be confused with the possessive form of Emily, as you said. Not illiterate, just confusing to the reader.
Emilys' = possessed by/ belonging to Emile
There is more lack of literacy in the comments than in the picture
Emilys' means possessed by more than one Emile.
possessed by/ belonging to is Emilies
You certainly are contributing to illiteracy.
You do not change the spelling of a proper noun to show possession or for the plural.
Emily's= possessed by/belongs to Emily
Emily's= contraction of "Emily is"
Emilys= Plural of Emily
Emilys'= Possessed by/belongs to several Emilys
Emilies= Plural of Emilie
You're welcome.
