Sorry to be off-topic, but can any language-nerd explain why the apostrophe is appropriate here? Is it short for "Acer is everywhere"?

- Elepsis 17y agoOne can only assume so, because that's the only way it is correct. Not sure why it isn't just written out to remove the awkwardness.
- paulgb 17y agoI was so intrigued by this title that I went out to buy their style guide (I've been wanting to read it for a while), but I couldn't find it in-store. I'm really interested to see what they say about apostrophies, because they seem to use them pretty liberally (eg. CEO's even when not plural).
