I don't know the actual rule, but if the apostrophe doesn't represent either a contraction or ownership, it's really grating to read. When I see
>A's
I parse it as ownership.
I also find it really annoying when people improperly use the collective ownership rule on noncollective nouns. For example
>Thomas'
There is more than one Thoma and we are indicating the ownership of all Thomas (plural). But really, Thomas is a single person, so it should be
>Thomas's
If you want to indicate plural ownership:
>Thomases'

Alliteratively:
Applauding transitionary appeasement abroad decapitalizes transpacific academics advocating actual African advancement. Alas, "apolitical" assurances (vaginal acrobatics) assuage allegations; accusatory apparitions appear aboard globalization--palliative allegiances.

"Punctuation marks have multiple uses," it whispers then reverts to terrifying laughter. Images of punctuation marks I've never seen flood my mind's eye. I fall to the ground, staring idly at the ceiling. My eyes focus on the fan. The fan's movement, its contours, the light creak of its internal parts all become a new punctuation mark that interposes the stream of vaguely meaningful, yet nonsensical, overlapping phrases in my head.

Note: We use an apostrophe to make A, I, M, and U plural because without the apostrophe it would form a different word (A's–As, I's–Is, M's–Ms, and U's–Us).
