Gerard Biederman asked,
Again I have a question about the correct spelling of a song title. This
time it concerns
1) 'S WONDERFUL or
2) S'WONDERFUL
Note the place of the apostroph.
I should say the first spelling is correct because the S is short for IT'S.
But I see it many times as S'Wonderful.
Definitely 'S WONDERFUL. As you note, the apostrophe replaces the missing
IT. But you'll see it screwed up various ways.
