My understanding is that the word must be presented correctly - if it has
an apostrophe or accent, for example, it should be included. On Sat, Dec 7, 2019 at 12:55 PM Benj.

In my experience dictionaries do not usually include possessives - except in compound words like "mercy's sake" therefore fore a single word I would suspect that if there is an apostrophe it would have to be there as part of the definition - as in "o'brienism" *JohnnyB* On 06/12/2019 23:55, Benj.

Perhaps I am unused to dictionaries, but I am neglecting the defs that seem
like they can easily have been singular entries and the ones that were defined as singular, leaving me with 1, 2, 7, and 11. I am eliminating 7 for the final bit of the def and 1 for using the pronoun "that" rather than "who". I am voting for 2 and 11.
