Reply To: Contraction use
Hello Mark,
I am curious as to why "sh," as an admonition to silence, would be preceded by an apostrophe. Are you certain it is an apostrophe, or is it a single opening quotion mark? At any rate, it makes no difference with regard to the "sh" ... It should not be contracted. In addition, thew, regardless of its meaning, would be contracted using the "the" contraction. Remember, your task is to follow print. 🙂
