This postal service is now closing down. Please stand for the National Anthem, after which there will be a white dot which will get smaller and smaller, accompanied by a high-pitched whine, until it disappears completely. For a few seconds after the final disappearance you will be unsure whether or not you can still see it: this is quite normal; do not adust your sets. -- "Some witty person in rec.arts.sf.composition (I forget who) called them feral apostrophes. Untamed, unregulated, they roam the wastes of the English language and pop up where lea'st expected."
Thank you, but I am well aware how an apostrophe should be used.
