Except in cases that would otherwise create ambiguity: "I count two lower
case a's in this sentence."

You meant '...two lower case "a" in this sentence' ?
Otherwise it looks like you're writing about something that belongs to
the "a".
" 's " should only be used for contractions (ie: 'net [internet],
doesn't [does not]) or for indicating possession [ie: "John's hat", "the
cat's claws"].
