Description Johnny_M 2016-09-02 16:23:39 UTC

Following auto-corrections in the DE locale are not needed, because their original form (without the apostrophe) is also valid:

gehts -> geht´s
gibts -> gibt´s
wirds -> wird´s

Reference: Duden (the go-to authority on German grammar; in German; see rule 14, point 4): http://www.duden.de/sprachwissen/rechtschreibregeln/apostroph

> Bei umgangssprachlichen Verbindungen eines Verbs oder einer Konjunktion
> mit dem Pronomen „es" ist der Apostroph entbehrlich; er wird jedoch häufig
> verwendet.
>
>    Wie gehts (auch: geht's) dir?
>    Nimms (auch: Nimm's) nicht so schwer.
>    Wenns (auch: Wenn's) weiter nichts ist ...
