[edit]

The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).

Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.


  1. A straight apostrophe ( ' ), used often in computer graphics interchangeably with the ordinary "curly" apostrophe ( ’ ).

In fact, all the references I've found to the term "printer's apostrophe" that specify which one is meant say that it means the curly apostrophe, the exact opposite of our definition. E.g. [1], [2], [3]. The reference to computer graphics is also a bit weird. Mihia (talk) 19:42, 10 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
