“The one affectation I have forced on the publisher... are my apostrophe-free ellisions. Because I write my scripts to read myself, I dont spell 'don't' with an apostrophe. I spell it 'dont'.

There is nothing confusing about a word like 'dont' printed without an apostrophe to indicate an omitted letter.” KnowsWritingUseSeemsClearLettersMarkScriptsSentencesFoolishDevicesSpellsPublishersConfusingPrintedPunctuationPunctuation Marks Author:Andy Rooney
