An apostrophe, like any other punctuation mark or letter of the alphabet, means the same thing in poetry that it does in prose. An apostrophe marks where a letter or letters are missing due to a contraction, or indicates the possessive case.
Websites rely on URLs to open a page. Punctuation in a URL can interfere with the webpage. So Answers.com (wikianswers.com) forbids most punctuation in questions.
Spaces are not 'marks,' but they are nevertheless the most common form of punctuation. The Romans did not put spaces between words, and divided words at the end of a line without using any punctuation mark. A nightmare!

no, there is only one. ================== I can't think of any example where ending a sentence with two periods would be necessary. Not even following the last word in a sentence that is being quoted within parentheses would I expect one to employ two periods. One, I humbly submit, is all that's ever needed. ------------------------- Placing more than one punctuation mark at the end of a sentence is superfluous. It is a rule of punctuation that there be only one form of "end punctuation" to a sentence. Whether the end punctuation be a period, question mark or exclamation point, only one is required. The rule applies also when the punctuation mark appears within parentheses or quotation marks; a second punctuation mark is both unnecessary and inappropriate.

This sentence is an example of a question. A question mark should go at the end of this question. Any sentence that starts with words like what, where, why which, and who requires a question mark, so it is correct in punctuation.
