What is an apastrophy?

Answer 1

An apostrophe is a punctuation mark used primarily to indicate possession or the omission of letters or numbers. For example, in the word "Jessica's book," the apostrophe shows that the book belongs to Jessica. It also appears in contractions like "don't" where it replaces the omitted letters. In some contexts, it can also indicate the plural of letters or symbols, such as "mind your p's and q's."
