Carafaat - Why do you put an unnecessary apostrophe on the plural word; ‘Somalis’?

There is a context where you would add an apostrophe to the word Somalis - where something by owned by more than one Somali is being mentioned. ie Somalis' houses or Somalis' features. ie as in peoples' history etc

Cause I copy pasted the word from google. You know how that goes with copy paste from google.

I haven't noticed it but what annoys me is when people say Somalians instead of of Somalis. Am I wrong to correct them when they say that?

You are right and the funny thing is even many Somalis don't even know how to say it. It is annoying, specially when I see that on a paper or document.
