mark my words. the apostrophe, the placement of which has marked the grammar literate from the rest, is going the way of the dodo. with smartphone qwerty keyboards putting the punctuation marks on the second screen and with no quick shortcut to summon it, it no longer features in my otherwise fully spelled out texts. from there, the ease of dropping it is now insidiously infecting my real keyboard work too.
soon, this genteel little mark, established over lifetimes of conditioning, will feature mostly as a curiosity, with various cameo appearances at odd and unexpected spots. its coming. and theres no stopping it.
