I am disappointed in this thread.

I thought there would be AC/DC.

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.

I disagree, Sundae.

A DVD and the DVD's cover.

Three DVDs and the DVDs' cover.

Single, single possessive, plural, plural possessive. Don't cross the streams.

I was thinking about photo's as a plural, and you might argue that the apostrophe substitutes in for the missing letters "graph", but then you'd need to write photo' as the singular form.

You might disagree, but it is a valid use.
So there.

Oh FTR - flies don't rot on a dead fish.
They breed.
It's an affirmation of life.
