Full Disclosure

My first conlang has prepostrophes. They're meant to indicate a mark from the language's own writing system, which is used to add inflections to some words. I have considered getting rid of them, but honestly I like them.

It doesn't take much to justify a prepostrophe to me. But then, the same is true of diacritics. It's all in whether they're functional.

It does to me, anyway.

I tend to pronounce grocers' apostrophes as a long, drawn out sigh, myself.
