APOSTROPHE:
APOSTROPHE "S" / 'S:
Notes:
If we are discussing something like the 1980's I'd go with a
hand-twist-S to show the "apostrophe S."
How to sign: O'Brien
I personally wouldn't use a twist to
put an apostrophe on an "O." (Though someone did comment that they did
that approach.)
My recommendation for a name such O'Brien one of these:
1. Slightly circle the O prior to doing the "Brien" part.
2. Ignore the apostrophe if it is not relevant (It is common to see Deaf
Newscasters omitting apostrophes in names. Not always of course but often enough
for it to not be uncommon).
3. If you really need to get that apostrophe (for typesetting in situations that
will be on public display or have legal ramifications later) then show the
apostrophe with the sign APOSTROPHE.
