And both have proven to work extremely well in many circumstances. Also, the apostrophe is not a single quote. You send us RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK (U+2019), in places where you should use APOSTROPHE (U+0027). It's hateful, but acceptable to send us special quotes, but not to replace apostrophes. Apostrophes are straight. (Careful readers will note that APOSTROPHE is the ASCII character abused for single quote. I don't mind, and even prefer, this abuse.) Next time, please get things right (or straight) before you send the wrong thing and belittle your audience's settings.
