This is just a silly spelling sometimes seen on things. Why take out a silent letter and replace it with an apostrophe? Jooge21:03, 14 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
Every used to be a trisyllabic word, and it was therefore at times necessary to replace the second e with an apostrophe for poetic reasons. Past tense verbs formed by suffixing -’d in place of -ed (as used by Shakespeare) were used for the same reasons. Hardly silly. Raifʻhār Doremítzwr00:49, 15 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
There's a boy snail for ev'ry girl snail, There's a boy quail for ev'ry girl quail/ There's a boy mouse for ev'ry girl mouse, There's a boy grouse for ev'ry girl grouse
