To quote the page
Apostrophe Rules:
* Do not use
apostrophes to
denote
possession.
* Do not use
apostrophes to
denote
contractions.
* Do not use
apostrophes to
denote plurals.
I would like to know of a use of apostrophes outside possessions,
contractions, and (rare) plurals! Neither “The Penguin Guide to
Punctuation” and “The Elements of Style” do not list any other uses…
