I think that they'll (theyll?) migrate from possessive's to plural's.

I don't suppose that apostrophes are strictly necessary, but yes, I miss them when theyre gone, and it affects my perception of the person who left them out, for the worse. Probably not rational, like most prejudice, but hard to root out.

How have I not heard of Riddley Walker before?
