Apostrophes: Serious Business

I just... I think I'll just leave these here:

Waterstones, the bookshop, has dropped the apostrophe in its trading name and logo, sparking outrage among some of its customers.

(Tried going meta by putting "Apostrophe's:" in the subject, but I think that was just too evil for the mods.)
