My ex-wife was a Cambridge graduate, and would never condone the
improper use of apostrophes. If I were to quote her, it is not
preservation that is important, but proper adherence to the "Queen's
English".
We here in the US have taken many liberties over the years - beginning
with the thing about the Boston Tea event - however, I do believe that
saving a keystroke to modify "Don't" to "Dont" is a simplification that
we can all do without - I just wonder how many apostrophes were
preserved in this correspondence - where do they collect all those
preserved apostrophes?? :-)

What's a 'Dont', Don? I've never gotten used to these American words.
