I’ve argued before that we should abolish apostrophes. Its usually so easy to know when an apostrophe has been omitted or incorrectly added, that they cant be adding anything of value. But I recently found a case where a legitimate sentence changes meaning when the apostrophe is added or dropped:
Drink no wine before it’s time!
Drink no wine before its time!
