St Johns Wood or St John's Wood?

What I'm wondering, is HTF did apostrophes get into the English language, anyway? None of its ancestor/contributing languages (Anglo-Saxon, Norse, French, Celtic) use or used apostrophes, did they? Modern Dutch uses apostrophes in the plural of certain (or all?) nouns ending in a long single vowel, such as "2 taxi's" or "3 piano's". |
