There's no need for that apostrophe in a street address because no numbers have been omitted (as in '72 replacing 1972 in dates). I'm pretty sure that's part of the 7 in the font used, not an apostrophe. rvwnsd, + azdr0710, Marc in Calif and 1 other 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "2" also has something serif-like attached to the front. Strange font! mike carey, + Charlie and + azdr0710 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ azdr0710 Posted October 10, 2023 Author Share Posted October 10, 2023 (edited) I think the ChatGPT font-style that ThroatCummer pasted the quote into auto-added the "serif" in the 7......

Let's, eat, grandma For Shatner's slow and deliberate way of speaking, they would be ellipses (or even periods) rather than commas! 😎 Let's... eat... grandma. Let's. Eat. Grandma.
