Now, there you go again, Anu's Garg, missin' the point. If you took the time to read my dictionary, you'd see that apostrophe's derivation's from Greek apo ‘from’ + strephein ‘to turn.’ All this apostrophe's hell's sign is tryin' to say is: "to turn from these evils". As soon as I figure out what is "P.K'S", I'll pr'bly turn away from it, too.

I note that, perhaps coincidentally, the P.K logo on the gum wrapper has no period after the K, either. why is that?

I note that it seems to be only in the context of the wrapper that the second period is missing. It's there in all the other copy.
