I've been working on a little something

Platini is right. apostrophes are for missing letters. i also concur with his hyphenation. i used to be a professional grammar nazi (now i'm just an enthusiastic amateur who can't be fucked with the 'shift' key). bah humbug.

Though the apostrophe can replace more than one letter, so "ne'er", "n'er" and "ne'r" could all be correct, depending on pronunciation (and preference). Why am I posting this at 2:30am?
