The apostrophe can:
1) substitute for a word/space in a contraction.
2) show possession when placed at the end of a word and followed by 's', save for words that end in 's' or the word 'its'.
3) be used instead of a 'g' in the progressive tense (is doing, was doing, etc.).

A former football star at the University of Michigan. Gerald Ford's claim to fame comes from America' most recognizable rehabilitation center, the Betty Ford Clinic, which was set up by Ford's wife, Betty.
Gerald Ford's presidency was marked by two assassination attempts on his life. He's still alive now, so I'm assuming that they both failed.

An imaginary man who receives blame for problems he didn't even cause. Some people confuse this obscure character with North Korean leader Kim Jong Il. The last letter of the man's name is an 'L', not an 'i'.

A genuinely hilarious show on Nickelodeon in the mid-1990s. 'RML' was an ingenious parody of 1990s life, poking fun at big businesses, coffee shops, credit cards, and many other things. Since it was on a children's network, the show's creators had to throw in some 'potty jokes,' as much of the show's true humor was too highbrow for the average ten year-old.
Rocko's Modern Life still airs on Nicktoons TV, but I don't think that very many people receive that channel.
