It's pretty common (though incorrect) for pro's and con's to be written with apostrophes, maybe because people think they must be contractions or something? For what? Prostitutes and convicts?

I think a lot of people just add an apostrophe when they aren't sure, which appears to be most of the time.

Quote - Does this thread mean we have enough information/clout/justification to get Daz in particular and vendors in general to finally drop that annoying apostrophe in Readme's?

Naah, then we'd have yet another folder for 'em, ReadMe's for legacy products and Readmes for new ones. Bad enough as it is.
