Subject: RE: BS: Sloppy use of language
An old wartime book my father possessed discussing enemy (i.e. German, Italian and Japanese) aircraft, mentioned an Italian aircraft, the Cant 1007. The airframe was nothing particularly special, but its engines never attained the designed power and the aircraft was very underpowered.
The writer suggested that "it would not be facetious to insert an apostrophe between the 'n' and the 't'."
