Here is what users have to say about Apostrophe

The apostrophe ( '  or  ' ) is a punctuation mark, and sometimes a diacritic mark, in languages that use the Latin alphabet or certain other alphabets. In English it has two main functions: it marks omissions, and it assists in marking the possessives of nouns and some pronouns. (In strictly limited cases, it is allowed to assist in marking plurals, but most authorities now disapprove of such usage; see below]].) According to the [[OED, the word comes ultimately from Greek (lang: hē apóstrophos 1, "accent of 'turning away', or elision"), through Latin and French.
