| Jan 8, 2013 at 13:59 | comment | added | Edwin Ashworth | The apostrophe can, however, be used to mark a difference in pronunciation: do's as opposed to DOS; I'll as opposed to ill; can't as opposed to cant. It can also signal the pronunciation of a letter one might consider to be elided: ex's. | |
