 The Geographical Names Board of New South Wales, Australia, excludes possessive apostrophes from place names, along with other punctuation.The band Dexys Midnight Runners omit the apostrophe in the self-published form of their name (though "Dexys" could possibly be understood as a plural form of "Dexy", rather than a possessive form).George Bernard Shaw, a proponent of English spelling reform on phonetic principles, argued that the apostrophe was mostly redundant.
