Re: That's as may be

Just think of it as a glot'l stop :)

A good policy, because that is exactly what it is.

And the symbol isn't an apostrophe. The correct representation is an opening single quote (while an apostrophe corresponds to a closing single quote). This rock is called ʻOumuamua, a Hawaiian word meaning "scout", and the eighth consonant in Hawaiian is a glottal stop, written with that symbol.
