grammar is a different thing. I'm talking about punctuation. Usually, an apostrophe is used to contract two words or to indicate possession... occasionally to note a missing letter. And, sometimes in names of characters in Sci Fi stories.

I was just curious.

They are also valid as a way to identify multiples of acronyms if confusion may otherwise result. I would far rather see DVDs than dvd's, but I admit sometimes it is useful.
