Yes the mark exists, but it has a completely different meaning. It's used in a way that's not a plural, a contraction, or an indication of dropped letters. The mark makes zero sense in English.
- spraak 9y agoYou could say the same about most symbols in words that are used in English but that are not from English. Your point doesn't stand. Edit: I.e. it doesn't make it a reason not to use it. Even in English there are many sounds that are not pronounced how they're written. We still take the effort to put the 'w' in 'sword', but most will say 'sord'.
