Oh I’m sorry, as a native English speaker I am familiar with this form since early schooling but as international English becomes ever more utilitarian I am quite used to seeing apostrophes misused or dropped altogether. I think the reason so that now adays most people that engage with the language are non-native speakers who don’t have time for such nuanced syntax. I would expect such a headline as this to be rewritten nowadays to avoid the apostrophe, or just dropped altogether as ever since “Eats Shoots & Leaves” copyeditors have been hyper conscious about the impact dropped punctuation can have on meaning. So it’s just nice to see it here, used as nature intended. In particular that it could be dropped and really not impact the meaning at all!
