there is no apostrophe
An apostrophe is not a letter. It falls into the punctuation category.
An apostrophe would count as a character, but not a letter.
I've given this a lot of thought...
Use the apostrophe right after the letter s: fighters'
The three-letter word that has an apostrophe after the first letter is "I'm" which is short for "I am." It's a common contraction used in English to combine the pronoun "I" with the verb "am." Hope that clears things up for you!
No, the first letter of a sentence should not be capitalized if an apostrophe precedes it. The apostrophe indicates a contraction or possession and does not affect the capitalization rules for sentences.

An apostrophe is not a letter. It falls into the punctuation category.
It depends on whether you are simply using the plural noun (no apostrophe) or forming a possessive (with an apostrophe). Examples:The school sent a letter to all parents. [Plural noun. No apostrophe.]We found a parent's cellphone after the meeting. ["Parent" is singular, so the apostrophe, making it a possessive, goes before the 's'.]The police came to his parents' home on Monday. ["Parents" is plural, so the apostrophe, making it a possessive, goes after the 's'.]

I've is a word that means I have. I'll is a word that means I will.
I've is a three letter word. I'll is another three letter word.
The apostrophe represents the missing letter or letters.
Where the apostrophe goes in the word "members" depends on how you intend to use it. If it simply meant to be pluralized, there is no apostrophe. For example: The members decided to leave. If it is meant to be singular possessive, the apostrophe goes after the r. For example: The member's fees were not paid. If you mean to make it plural possessive, the apostrophe goes after the s. For example: The members' retreat was extremely relaxing.
The apostrophe is part of the plural possessive noun so it goes first and the comma merely denotes a pause between words.
